CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
not put pen to paper during the week. The fact that some £200,000 of Bank paper were settled on one day, however, is conclusive evidence that a somewhat large business nust have gone through. The Auctions have presented a sorry spectacle this week, in one case several lots of Cotton
goods being withdrawn. Clearances of American makes have been a little better, but English gooad are moving very slowly. The Yarn market is not quite in sympathy with that for Piece Goods, so far as Indian Spianings are concerned, there having been a better enquiry at steady prices but the demand is falling off for Japan and Local Yarns and prices are weak. Some of the Native run Mills are alreadly feeling the strain and shutting down. Cotton, is cheaper, best machine ginned being quoted 11s. 12.80.
METALS, 10th October-(From Messrs. Alex. Bielfeld & Co.'s Report.-In Me'als there is absolute stagnation. Every possible godown is full, and much of the new cargo now arriving has to be stored in the open for want of accommodation. Home advics show a much easier feeling there, but offers at lower prices find no acceptance, all the dealers here being full up of stocks bought at higher rates, which they cannot realise. A comparison of the imports and re-exports for the Third Quarter last year and this shows that while the imports have been much heavier the re-exports have shown a remarkable inability to respond, thus clearly showing the overloading which has occurred.

SHANGHAI, 8th October.-(From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Cos Piece Goods Trade Report.) - It
an old saying that "misfortunes never come singly," and the truth of it is being fully illust- rated just now with the market here, which, through a concatination of circumstances quite beyond the control of those concerned, has been going from bad to worse for the last tow months. The rebellion in some of the largest Provinces
seems to have been the commencement of the troubles, followed by the recent complications in Peking, which practically paralysed our best markets in the North, and now comes the news of a destructive fire at Hankow early in the interval, which must seriously affect the trade of the largest and most important market on the Yangtaze. Little wonder is it, therefore, that business is at a standstill here, the distributing entre, the market book being virtually a blank this week. Although a few of the dealers have "been found plucky enough to place orders for the new season, the business done, which is of some magnitude, has not been at all general, in fact many of the leading Importers declare they have
