Mesars, Noel, Murray & Co.'s Report on the Shanghai Piece Goods Trade, dated Shanghai, 30th July, 1908, states:-The intense heat mentioned last week has continued uninter- ruptedly, and to it must be attributed a good deal of the slackness the market has displayed. That the growing crops are benefitting by the | weather cannot be denied, and the prospects for both Cotton and Rice are becoming daily more favourable. In the meantime rain has fallen in the north and also in Cores, so the outlook is de- cidedly improving, although in the north it may be a little late to do much good to the crops it will facilitate the movement of merchandise. The most interesting feature of the week was the despatch of a steamer to Corea with what is practically the first of the season's goods. Although no great quantity was taken it
augurs well for the future the dealera here being very confident and anticipate that if things go on as they are doing a good Autumn trade will be done. Assisted largely by the quantity taken for Corea clearances during the interval have been quite satisfactory. Although not quite so favourable as June deliveries during the month just closing have been excellent for the time of the year, and we understand in some instances the dealers have done quite well on goods recently arrived. The Manchester market appears to keep fairly steady, but has not been troubled very much from this end, the general opinion of operators being that the chances of a decline are greater than those for a rise, A very favourable report is anticipated on the condition at the end of July, then it will only be the scarcity of "spot" Cotton that will keep prices up until the new Crop arrives. The Liverpool quotation for Mid-American spot, after declining again inside the six-pence has recovered to 6.06d. according to telegrams received to-day. The last price for "fatures" was 5.62d. Egyptian remains steady at 7fjd. We have not heard of any specific purchases in New York but understand some are being made for China on a moderate scale. Cotton on that market was quoted by cables received yesterday 9.40 cents for October and 0.20 cents for December, to-day September "option" coming 9.57 cents. From the Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance for April we learn that the exports to China from the US for that month were 7,237.119 yards valued at $407.477, against 8,846,106 yards valued at $446,784 for same month last year. The total shipments for the ten months ending April 1907 were 30,597,101 Miscellaneous— yards=$2,036,518, against 79,249,700 yards= $5,248,128 for the same period ending April 1907, and 444,319,669 yards $26,097,762 in From these figures it would appear this market has had every opportunity to get into proper shape again. Some one blundered and toe trade has had to pay very dearly for it. The extraordinary strike of the work people in Bombay has caused some excitement in the market here, although its purport does not seem to be thoroughly understood. It is, however, not unlikely to cause late delivery of Yarns contracted for, and for that reason holders here of stock are fairly unanimous in asking higher prices. Buyers for Szechuan appear to have got the better of second hand hölders here, and have relieved them of upwards of 3,000 bales Indian Yarn. The market is very firm for all Spinnings. The small remaining stock of native Cotton is being taken up at advancing prices. Business in piece goods from first hands is practically at a standstill and no forward con- tracts are being booked.
