sent noticeable on this market is the persistency with which prices for stocks generally remain below present cost, and with few exceptiona also at a level considerably under what those who are purchasers are offering for cable transactions. The quiet condition reported in my last has become still more marked and while "hard
cargo bas been neglected during the week, no telegraphic purchases of any importance are on record. No- thing has been done in Metals new or old. The business in sundries has been small.

SHANGHAI, 27th June.-(From Mr. G. W Noel's report.) The week under review has not been productive of any specially interesting event as regards this market. Exchange is weaker liere, but it is exceedingly difficult to get buyers to recognise that fact, the market in consequence being much quieter, at the same time remaining firm at previous rael quotations. The anticipated lull is evidently setting in, and this is more plainly shown by the results of this morning's auction, where prices went generally in the buyers' favour, than by the private business reported, which has only shown signs of falling off towards the close. Deliveries of former purchases continue satisfac- tory, but the Tientsif dealers seem disposed to pause now before entering into further engage ments. There is a strong market for the best American makes, which is helped considerably by the firmness of manufacturers in the States, and holders are consequently taking advantage of the situation. The lower class goods, however, hang fire and it is very difficult to effect sales even at previous prices! Woollens continue to attract business in Camlets and Long Ells has been the attention of the dealers and a further large
done this week, both from stock and to arrive.
JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 3rd July.-The market has ruled very quiet and we have nothing of importance to report.
early part of the week were neglected, but later, BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais during the
a demand springing up, rates gradually rose with
sales at 182, 183, 184, and 185 to 186 per cent. prem., at which rate market closes steady. Some few lots changed hands for August and September at 191 and 193 per cent. prom. Nationals have again changed hands at $28,
MARINE INSURANCES-Unions continue on offer at $162 China Traders have ruled very firm and rates have advanced with sales at 866. $661, $67, and $69 to $70, at which rate a few shares are still obtainable. Cantous are still en- quired for at $162, but no more shares seem to be forthcoming. Straits are steady, at quota-
tion.
FIRE INSURANCES. — Have ruled neglected and rates remain unchanged.
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos
It appears after all that the Japanese are levying have changed hands as low as $314 and B
duty in Newchwang on imports made by natives, and are also charging duty on their exports, which have to pay again on importation here, or any other Chinese port. This is a very heavy tax on the trade and will stop business indefinitely. The quieter tone here has already reflected on Manchester, that market being reported dull with only a dragging demand. Cotton has declined: 38d. It is rumoured that further eevelopments in the local industry are on the tapis, and that two or three mill companies are to be floated in the near further under the superintendence of foreign firms here. The natives appear very favourably disposed to the schemes, and will no doubt give the large support when they find they are free from official interference and ob structiveness.

REFINERIES-China Sugars have changed hands in small lots at $103 and $104. Luzons continue neglected.
MINING.- We have no sales of any importance to report.
MISCELLANEOUS.-Lands continue steady at $59 to $593, and sales have been effected at these rates. Docks have further improved their posi- tion to 106, with sales at that and 105 per cent. prem. At time of writing sellers rule the market at former rate. Fenwicks have fallen to. $15 with sales. Watsons have changed hands Metals. (From Mr. Alex. Bielfeld's report)—at $91 and can still be obtained at that rate. 28th June:-The most remarkable feature at pre- Ices have improved to and are firm at $83,
