SHANGHAI, 16th July.-(From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade report.) The market continues in a very quiet condition at least as far as importers are concerned, and it would be difficult to find a week of recent date when there has been less done than during that just closing. The experience seems to be quite unanimous, no matter what the class of goods, brisiness in both spot cargo and for arrival being
of trivial nature. The sales reported from stock during the week are small, but there seems to I have been some businces done in Fine White
Shirtings and English Sheetings and Drills for arrival during the end of this year, but as the sales have, for the most part, been made on a sterling-busis it is difficult to obtain particulars. The Tientsin dealers, it is said, are not urging the execution of; the orders sent down to them recently, bat in the meanwhile clearances of their late purchases here are going into con- sumption there very satisfactorily. This remark applies more particularly to Prints and Fancy Goods, which are being burried into the interior. We have nothing to report about Newchwang, while the River trade is dull, as usually happens at this time of the year. It is rumoured that some business has been done in American goods for arrival next spring, but no particulars are forthcoming. The market for spot cargo inclines to-be weaker.

Metals and Miscellaneous.—(From Messrs. Alex. Biolfeld & Co.'s report.)—17th July.--The dullness continues and the situation has by no means im- proved since my report, for two native banks have closed their doors as a result of speculation.

Pig Iron, Redcar, No. 3, has been offer at 69/- without business resulting and even Old Iron is not receiving any special attention.
