SHANGHAI, 8th July.-(From Me-srs. Noël, Murmy & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade Report. the advent of the hot weather is not going to have the accustomed depressing effect on our market this yar, apparently, the condition of the trade baving 8 changed that it behoves those interested in it to be constantly on the qui vive. and without question the requirements for next season will, engage attention long before the results of the present: one have been computed.

This want of uniformity is certainly bewildering and make it very difficult to keep the run of the market, the prices even at Auction this week showing great irregularity, in many cases being actually lower, although the market is nominally so strong. It is rumoured at the "close that Tientsin has sent down orders to buy freely at Inst, so the long looked for upward movement in prices may soon. take place now. Basin-es- daring the int rval frour first hands his been confined chiefly to Manchester makes from stock or for near arrival, but a fair quantity of American manufactures have changed ownership amongst the natives. There is a good forward enquiry and orders nie being booked with some freedom for the Spring, but in many fases: manufacturers, in the States especially, will not commit themselves so far ahe d. The demand for Yarns continues unabated and a
