The market was again feature- Jess during the week under review and except for a litle activity in Ewos which relieved the monotony somewhat there is little of note to report except that the demand for investment counters continued un- abated, consequently prices in this section were generally higher with Hong Kong Trams in demand at $21.40, Star Ferries at $982, Hong Kong Electrics at $73. Tele. phones (old) at $244, and Wharves at $1021⁄2. Hong Kong Lands, however, were neglected and were nominal at $61.
