SHANGHAI, 26th June, (from Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co. Piece Goods Trade Report).-There is a much better feeling all round in our market. Most qualities of English goods have been enquired for and we hear a fair business in smalt quantities has been done from first hands, and we do not think we are far wrong in saying that Chinese have made some speculative purchases which is a sure indication that the position is better than it has been. At the moment there is
a general demand and holders are taking up a getting anything like replacing costs there is a very firm attitude and although they are not general tendency to meet the market and the "gprofit on the sales of stock bought some time ago must be good. There has been considerable movement in American goods and we have been 20,000 packages have changed hands among informed through Chinese sources that fully Native holders and that the clearances during the past week amount to about 13 0 0 bales. It has taken between 2,500 and 3,000) bales and while is also further stated that the Tientsin market
the quantity is very small for a market like Tientsin it is encouraging to think that this market shows some signs of activity. It is admitted in most quarters that stocks there must be light. Advices from Newchwang are good and
while dealers have been buying freely American Drills clearances have ben made on a free scale. There is little to say about the River Ports as they are usually very quiet during this but Ningpo continuce t take goods in
Japanese-ales to the extent of about 850 bales have been reported on the basis of Tis. 87) to Tls. 94 for 16s. and Tls 38 to 100 for No. 20s., prices showing a decline of half to one Tael.
Local:-There is much doing in these threads, the sales during the interval being about 5,000 bales on the basis of Tls. 87 to 891 for No. 14s. and Tls. 89 to 92 for N. 169.
