SHANGHAI, 3rd September (from Messrs. Wheelock Co's report)-During the past fortnight there has been very little done in exports either for Lon- don or New York, steamers for both ports having left with very small cargoes for this time of year; the tea market eqacially being in a very dreary state. The continued high exchange is no doubt. Jargely responsible for the extreme dullness in trade — in fact in all business –and coupled with the advance of 53. per ton for cargo to New York it is little won- der that things generally ars lifeless. Coasting is jüst ab út in the same state, and were it not for the slight improvement in rates in the south, local liners would be having a bad time of it, as from the reports
