SHANGHAI, 26th August -(Fr m Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co's. Piece Goods Trade Report)—– The unaccountable decline in Sterling rates sill continues, and both the foreign Importer and the native buyer are becoming much concerned with regard to the future of this trade. Trade in im- ports is in an absolute state of quiescence, it being impossible for Importers to sell privately within fifteen per cent. of the prices they want, and the tiatives don't care to buy, even at Auction, although prices there show no material improve- As an example it will be only necessary to point out that at the Yuen Fong Auction of 29th July, when Exchange was 2/61, the average price realised for the three chops of 7-lbs. Shirtings was Tls. 81, to-day with Exchange at 2/3 the average was Tls. 1.88. In the same way the average of eleven chops of 8.4-lbs. Shirtings was Tls.: 2.08, against Tls. 2.11 to-day, and Exchange 9 per cent. lower! Considerable uneasi. ness is being felt with regard to the stability of some of the Native operators in American goods especially, and this was intensified ealier in the week by the tightness of the money market, owing to the Foreign Banks calling in their loans. Fortunately this did not last long, and the posi- tion has been much relieved by the lenient way in which several Native speculators in Gold Bars have been met, English goods will cause little if any trouble, and are being cleared very satisfac-
