PIECE GOODS.—The daily market has presented an appearance of more doing during the past week, and quotations, by reason that, excepting in rare instances, they are no lower, are believed to be higher, but the great majority of imports have not benefitted by the activity, and the advates in value, when placed alongside ofthe decline in Sterling Exchange, gains more by the appearance than in the reality, Moreover the auctioneers appear to be the only acliera who have had the pull by the rio in rates, which argues rather in favor of an imperative need for apecialtics than in favor of any general improvement, Grey Shirtings—Demand has embraced 6, 7, 8} and Obs, of the lower maker, chiefly, and in all a moderato business har been tone, mostly at last mail's rates, but in the case of the 8} and 93-Ibs.—owing to their growing scarcity—prices have s hardening tendency at the clone OF the later 10.1be.—weight the Snest brands have found buyers fo extent of something like 10,000 pieces at the figures, Tis, 2.15 for the Red Cheong Nyuen and Dowhurat's Green Lion, Tie, 2.274 for the Tai Wo Stag, Tle, 2.414 for the Tunsin Eagle A, ete, etc., but, as far ae the market book ehewe, Tis, 1.62—paid forthe Sin-ce Eye chop—a very good cloth and liked by the natives—has been the line beyond which buyers could not go in their operations in 8{-Ibe., and for the movement in the lower makes of this weight, the market is indebted to Japan and Chefoo. About 50,000 pieces of all weights have changed hands, White Shirtings.—Zed Pheasant 64-Reed has beau wanted at Tle. 1.65, but the holder has declined to budge from his former standard—Tls. 1.674 per pieco—2,000 pieces Dowhurat's Tripod (Three Legs of Man), however, have been let go at that figure, and that quantity, with 2,300 pieces Bogle, Dewhurst's, at Tle, 1.80. 1.82 per piece, in two sales of 1,000 pieces each, nearly sums up the business of the week in this department, 'TF-Cloths.—A dull market throughout and exceedingly little to report.

Assorted likewise are botter favour, and rather higher in value. Camfets ato rising slowly from the depth to which they had fallen, and Spanish Stripes are also developing the improving basis, noted last week as imminent.
