SHANGHAI, 10th December. -(From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade Report)
-The last tamer for Tientsin this season was despatched on the morning of the 6th inst., and it see us to be the general opinion that very in adequate supplies have gone up for the winter trade, in face of the bare state of the market there. This has given a certain amount of im. petas to the forward demand, but buyers for the are only willing to offer about current

JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 16th December.-The market gen- erally continues quiet, although a fair business has been put through in some of the chief stocks. notably Banks and Docks, at enhanced rates.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais changed hands in the early part of the week at 235 and 236 per cent. prem.; later, the demand continuing and the London rate improving to £53, the market strengthened considerably and sales were effected at 41, 242, and 243 per cent. cont. prem. On time shares changed hands at prem., and subsequently at 245 and 250 por 942 and 215 for February, also at 250 for able at 25 cash and at equivalent or rather March. At time of closing shares are obtain- higher than equivalent rates on time. Nationals have been negotiated at $18.
MARINE INSURANCES.-The market has ruled very dullat quotations without any busi-
ness.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Small sales of Hong- kongs at $320 and of Chinas at $88 have taken place.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have changed hands at $264, the market closing steady at that rate. sales at $53 are on offer at $524, Indo-Chinas Douglases after small have slightly improved to $59. China Manilas China Mutuals continue in demand at quota- have boomed to $95 after a small sale at $88. tions.

are waking in the forward rate are, as a not tempting enough to lead to business, hence the smallness of the transactions reported: The Tientsin men have money to invest, but are endeavouring to lay it out to the very best ad- vantage, no doubt thinking there will be some. good opportunities as the close of our market approaches. Holders on the other hand confident prices will improve, as they should do, looking at the bigh cost of replacing; at all events it will not be running any great risk to show a little firmness now. Money is nominally. very cheap in the market just now, but it is tightly held, making it as difficult as ever to get accom- modation, The native Banks are acting cautiously and have already got the annual settling well in hand, so that it is not anticipated there will be any great difficulties to overcome at the close. On the whole we should say the Native dealers have not committed themselves anything like so heavily as usual in Manchester goods, but have still some rather big stocks of undesirable Fancy gools uncleared. Beyond the enquiry for Tient- sin there is very little of intere t to note in the at titude of our dependencies. Hankow is just show. ing slight signs of a revival, but is has not got beyond the embryo state yet; however, as soon as her financial position improves there should be a good demand from that quarter. Szechuen from, all accounts is still in the throes of insurrection,
