PIECE GOODS.—Transactions for the last week could not be expected to be large, four days having been kept almost as holidays for the Races, meantime the Auctions for 8}-lbs. Shirtings wore as heavy as before, and under their pressure, prices gave way 1 to 3 candareens per piece," The news from Newchwang is supposed to be very discouraging, the dealers say they cannot get rid of any large quantities of loods, and a hitch in the trade with Corea is given as the reason. From Tientsin, however, we have better advices, buying has recommenced, rey Shirtings and English Drills being this time the goods most wanted, and White Shirtinge, Sheetivgs and T-Cloths are believed to be selling well again, For Japan also Grey Shirtings are wanted, American Drills are quite neglected, and the few small lots cold at Auction naturally realised very low rates; Sheetings, on account of their scarcity, are always saleable, Woollens at Auctions go lower and lower all round, buyers having no confidence in the market, Telegrams in yesterday from Manchester quote Cotton Goods as again higher, and the market to-day here may be considered aa much stronger, chiefly in consequence of the Kin-ming Hong advertising no Shirtings for sale at Auction to-morrow; at Auction this morning rates recovered again by 1 to 3 candareens.
