Shanghai 19th November.-(From Noël, Murray & Co. Piece Goods Trade Report) ket, and again we have to chronicle that the business passing between imports and merchants is almost nothing. The position, however, is not so hopeless as recent indications would show, us the bulk of the goods held by natives is in the hands of men quite capable of carrying their stocks until next season without any difficulty, but their usefulness in attempting to do so will no doubt be interfered with by the clamourings of the smaller hongs for accommodation to do the same thing. Apart from the great tightness of money that is at present affecting the trade it must not be overlooked that the deliveries this year exceed those of last year, and that the usual autumn demand has been anticipated by the large quantities sent forward to the various consuming markets during the summer months. Among Chinese a fair business has been done in American gools for shipment to Tientsin, but beyond this there is little t Doe. The Inst steamer of the season it is said, has left for Newchwang, and it is believed that Tientsin will be closed early next month. From Hankow the reports are more encouraging, but the prices offered are too low to admit of shipments being made hence,

·JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, November 24th. The market still continues somewhat inactive with an in- clination to weakness, and business has again been restricted to small investing and covering orders. The absence of speculative business is |¿conspicuous.
Metals. (From Messrs. Alex. Bielfeld & Co.'s report.)-20th November:-Notwithstanding the improvement in the money market, the Chinese bank rate being now quite cheap, when compared with the past two months' rates, there has been no improvement in business. As we have so often pointed out, the stocks on hand are abnormally large, and there is no demand locally, the interior markets also being over supplied. Nailrods.— The only transaction settled in this line has been 500 tons " Goffiu" at Tls. 2.55 per picul from stock. The stock on hand is between 12,500 and 15,000 tons. Yellow Metal has been offered at Tls. 21 during the week, but was refused at that price.

China Mutuals continue a dead letter at quota- tions.
