* Shares of drybulk shippers fell Wednesday, as a key shipping index slipped and a Dahlman Rose & Co. analyst said the market is not showing signs of an expected post-holiday rebound in China. Analyst Omar Notka said the drybulk vessel rates have weakened over the last several days -- a time when the sector was widely expected to recover following a slowdown related to Chinese New Year celebrations.
