METALS 23rd: October.—(From Mesars. Alex. Bielfeld & Co.'s Report)—There has been a good feeling in the market during the week, and prices have responded considerably to the home rates. In Metals there has been considerable business at increasing prices. One lot of wire nails, quoted below, was closed for some days ago at -12s. 6d., but since then the price has jumped to 14s., on Saturday. Nailrods likewise have gone up 2 mace during the week, ruling strong at the close at Tls, 4.20. But still these prices re main below the Home quotations, showing that old stocks are still not exbansted.

SHANGHAI 21st October.-(From Mesars. Noël Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade Report P'ece Goods. The past week has without doubt been the dullest this market has experienced throughout the year. There is absolutely nothing doing, unless the small retail parcels of sundry makes, shipped really as samples, are taken into account. Importers who have cargo decline to book at current rates, which the dealers are ready enough to offer but nothing more, and Indentors are not at all inclined to operate in goods that will not be here until the next season is far advanced, Exchange being such an import. ant factor, to say nothing of what may be the state of the money market, which enters largely into their calculations. At the present moment it is more stringent than it has been for months past, which has quite put a stop to all speculative buying, even at the tempting prices obtainable at Auction. Consequently the dealers who get small orders can practically fill their requirements at absurdly, low prices, which tends, in some measure, to depress the whole market and pre- vents an adequate rise in values in the country. There is nothing to complain about yet in clear ances, they are going on remarkably well and serve to show the healthy state the trade is in generally in the country. The higher rates of interest affect the buying in the Yangtaze and neighbouring markets much more than in the North, here the trade is done on the credit sys tem, and this secounts somewhat for the decline in Auction prices and little enquiry there is for Manchester goods. The Yarn market is much quieter all round, the high prices that have been attained here not meeting with the same response in the country, and the weakness which is showing itselt in native cotton, through
