SHANGHAI, 8th July-(From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co's. Piece Goods Trade Report). The revival in the demand has already set in, or at least its precursor, for so far the buying ap- pears to be confined to the local dealers in antic. ipation of orders from Tientsin, which have not actually arrived yet. Most attention is being paid to 8 4-lbs. shirtings at present, and all the suitable cloths are being bought up both from stock and to arrive. Meanwhile prices have ad- vanced bere sufficiently to enable operators to cover their sales in most cases, but the long in- terruption to the telegraph cables, and the con- sequent irregularity with which telegrams have been coming through, has made is difficult to do so in some instances. Of other goods there has not been so much doing from first hands, but a large quantity has changed ownership amongst the natives themselves during the interval, which will help to clear the way for future operations. These consist chiefly of the heavier makes of Shirtings, which are getting scarce in Importers' books, and also American goods. Of the latter a fair quantity is being shipped to-morrow for Newchwang and further supplies have been bought to arrive. For Hankow there is a better enquiry for both Grey and White Shirtings and deliveries are improving. The want of rain is causing considerable anxiety in most parts of the country, and especially on account of the growing Cotton crop in this neighbourhood, and conse- quently a further rise has taken place in the price of this staple. The Auctions have gone well this week, both Cottons and Woollens show. ing advancing prices Yarns are strong, both the local and imported Spinnings realising higher values.
METALS.—(From Messra. Aler. Bielfeld & Co's Report), 9th July:-Thero has been a little business done during the week under review, as noted below, and it is further learned from native sources that the total business done in
these lines during the month of May and June, including that given by us, has amounted to over 5,000 tons, which is not so very bad under the present conditions. The following are the contracts made during the week:-. 250 tons London horse-shoes

JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 14th July.The business of the week has been somewhat restricted and chiefly confined to Mining and the smaller stocks. Rates, however, continue steady and in some cases show an improvement.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have changed hands at 188 per cent. prem, and more shares are obtainable at the rate. A few un- important transactions forward at equivalent rates have been reported. Nationals are still enquired for at $23 without bringing out sellers and at time of writing sales are reported at $24. Bank of Chinas neglected with sellers.
MARINE INSURANCE.-China Traders are enquired for at $77 and sales are reported. Unions are wanted at $225, and $227) would doubtless be paid were shares forthcoming. Straits have been asked for at $174 without inducing holders to part. Cantons continue on offer at $180 with no sales. Yangtszes and North Chinas have changed hands at quotations in the North.
FIRE INSURANCE.—A sudden demand for Hongkongs quickly sent the rate up to $360 after small sales at $354, $355, and $357), market closing steady at $360. Chinas have also improved considerably, shares having changed hands at $105, $106, and $107, and closing firm at the last rate.
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have ruled very quiet and almost neglected, sellers at $351 and 835 being always willing to meet any small demand. The market closes with sales and buyers at $344. Indo-Chinas have ruled firm and in demand; a fair number of shares have been placed at $50 and $51 for cash and at equivalent rates on time, Market closes firm at $51. The report is to hand, but as all the prominent features of it have been previously noted further reference is unnecessary. China Manilas continue firm but without business. Douglases have found small buyers at $66 and $67, closing steady.
REFINERIES-China Sugars continued firm in the early part of the week, but towards the end have shown a slight weakness and shares have changed hands at $147, $146), and $146, closing at last rate, appears to be due to Shanghai forcing shares The temporary decline
$50 for August and at $49 and $47 cash, on our market. Luzons have found buyers at
closing quiet at latter rate.
MINING.-Punjoms.-On the strength of the report of a satisfactory offer having been made for the property by the American Syn. dicate, shares have ruled very strong and considerable sales have been effected at $81. $84, $81, and reported ones at $9. Towards the close, however, a decided set-back occurred and the rate fell quickly to 38 with but few sales. The negotiations with the Syndicate appear to be going on steadily and to be of a bona fide character. They are, however, kept private until some definite offer is made which the directors consider worthy of placing before the shareholders at an extraordinary meeting which will have to be called for the purpose.
The market closes rather firmer at $8.15 after late sales at that rate. Charbonnages remain at $95 without business. Balmorals have found bayers in fair lots at $2.10 and $2 for ordinaries and $2.30 and $2.20 for preferences, market closing weak with sellers at $1.90 and $2.10 respec- tively, Jelebus continue steady with a small demand and sales at $2.25. Raubs, upon receipt of the result of the two months' clean up, (i.e. 2,150 oz. from 2,400 tons ore) very quickly recovered their position and sales were effected at $28, $283, and $29. Later, however, with many shares offering by weak holders for the settle- ment on the 31st, the rate again receded to $273 and the market closes quiet at $27.25. The crushing mentioned above, although not as good as the last exceptional one, is still very good, giving as it does a fraction under 18 dwt. per ton. Olivers A have changed hands
