SHANGHAI, 19 h May.-(From Me-ara.-Noë', Murray & Co.'s Pieve Goods Trade Report. The market remains in the same quiet state as mentioned in our last Report, in fact there is even less doing, American makes being an absolute blank, and clearances generally are falling off. The only reason for this tunst be the disine iñation to invest further in goods before the Settling-day, as the markets in the consum- ing districts are all fairly active and money is easy. Deliveries, also, compare very favourably
REFINERIES.-China Sugars have been ne- with last year, many of the more important items showing welcome increase, American makes gotiated in small lots at $174, whilst larger. standing out most prominently, especially Sheet-parcels have changed hands at $173). Luzous ings, which seem to be gaining more and more with a continued small enquiry, have ruled firm in favour, probably on account of the wider range and sales have been effected at $54 and $55 of qualities that come here now, instead of what
cash and $54) and $55 for 31st inst. usd to be the regular standard wakes only, the cheaper class of cloth, apparently, finding the rendiest sale in the country. So long as the deliveries keep in excess of the Imports, as is the ease with most of the English goods, there should not be much to complain about, and the Chinese markets can hardly be blamed for not taking more than is offered. Business has actually been on a somewhat larger scale than is reported, mung transactions being withheld from publication on account of the lerius, as regards Exchange and <delivery, etc, being so diverse as to make it defficult to give the exact quotation in an in- telligible manner. However, ev-n taking these i: to account the maract could not be called any- thing but extremely quiet. A few indents bave gone through for special lines, but as a rule home prices are so much above those ruling here at present the dealers are afraid to operate. There is still some impediment apparently to the trale in Newchwang, but it is very difficult to et at the bottom of it, and it seems to have more to do with the mode of financing than anything connected with the market. Tientsin is going on satisfactorily, though there are persistent rumours to the contrary, made no doubt with an object, but they are unlikely to have much effect on prices here, if any. Although fresh orders are very slow in coming in from the River Ports it cannot be sai-l that the trade is foliing off there, as can be seen by the deliver ea, from which it would appear that the forward purchases made early in the year must have been abnormally, large. This

Charbonnages without business. remain unchanged and Queens with more satisfactory reports from the mines improved a little to 55 cents after sales at 52 and 50 cents, market closing steady at 55 cents. Jelebus have changed hands at $9.90 and $9.80 in small unimportant lots. Raubs after further sales at 8604 and $60) have ruled a little weaker and close with sellers at $604. Olivers and Great Easterns have ruled very quiet with small sales at quotations. "
DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks after further small sales at 381 per cent. prem. have further advanced to 382 with buyers; on time shares are enquired for at a little better than equivalent rates, but they are still difficult to obtain and holders continue firm. Kow. loon Wharves have changed hands at 886) and $86 in fair quantities. Wanchaia remain un- changed and without business.
LANDS, HOTELS, AND BUILDINGS.-Hong kong Lands continue to be enquired for in a small way at $82 without leading to business. Hotels have ruled quiet at $87 with little or no business. Humphreys have found strong buyers at $10 and $10.10 for cash and at from $10.30 to $10.50 for August, market closing steady at West Points have found further buyers at $28 and $281⁄2 and are still wanted at the latter rate. A demand for Kowloon Lands still exists without bringing out any shares.
