SHANGHAI, 2nd December.-(From Mesra. Noël, Murray & Co's. Piece Goods Trade Report)-Although the measures taken by the Native and Foreign Banks to relieve the severe strain on our Money maket are showing some signs of king effect at the close, the week ander' review Is been a very trying one, and one that will be remembered in such a manner that its. recurrence will be rendered impossible, it is hoped. Attracted by the high rate of interest ruling, one tael
per thousand per diem, or 36 per cent. per annum, money is coming in gradually and is already affording some relief, the rate to-day being nominally six mace, but it is impossible to obtain acvominodation to any extent even now. Clearances have in

It is said there has been quite a rush for space at the close, but it must be almost entirely for goods already paid for and delivered frour Importer's godowns. Business that used to be so
