SHANGHAI, 14th November,-From Messrs. J. Bisset & Co.'s, Report. There has been a arked improvement in the share market since our last report. In consequence, perhaps, of the Annual Report of the American International Cotton Manufacturing Co. just issued, the Com- | pany's shares have been in brisk demand for the past few days and their price has been steadily rising. The Directors report a slight loss, which is accountable to the disorganised state of the Yarn business during the past few months, and regret that the favourable conditions with which they started the year have not continued. The demand for this Mill's stocks has doubtless influenced the prices of the other Cotton Mill stocks of the place, which have also impoved considerably during the past few days. Banks,- Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. shares have changed hands here at 220 per cent. premium.
