SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT.
(Novemb(r 16, 1848.)

Since the last monthly report a large amount of busi-
ness has been done, but, partly on account of the old
barter system having been renewed, imports have de-
clined, while tea has advanced.

Cotton Goods—Of shirting-a the sales aggregate
110,000 pieces of all descriptions at our quotations;
stock about 150,000 pieces. Twilled shirtings difficult
to sell, with a large stock. Cotton drills are also in
little request; the supply abundant. Turkey red chintzes
are less iu request, but the stock has not been increased
by fresh importations.
