SHANGHAI, 18th January,-(From Mears. Noël. Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade Report).— Transactions have continued on a fairly extensive scale, but the inclination to buy has been some- what checked by the upward movement in Exchange, the natives, as usual, expecting to get the full benefit of any pull in that direction. The near approach, too, of the close of the Chinese year is being felt, and it is unlikely that anything more of importance will be done until the ceremonies and festivities' connected with the The ndvent of the Now Year are well over. dealers have undoubtedly opened their eyes to the fact that available supplies will be none too plentiful at the commencement of the season, and have been buying up all they can lay their hards on holders of goods being astonished at receiving visits from men connected with the trade they have not desit with for years, the exigencies of the situation forcing them out of their regular grooves. There is certainly a fair supply of goods here to draw upon. but with the curtailment in shipments, that must take place for at least the first two months of this year, stocks ought to be reduced to a very moderate compass by the end of March. Nevertheless; many Im orters are dis-~ inclined to take the risk of holding, and are meet» ing the views of buyers by selling for a month or six weeks' delivery, transactions for cash before::: Ithe settling day being virtually at an end now.
