dealers maintaining a quiet and reserved attitude toward all attempts to "boom." Generally values on this side are tending upward but the movement is gradual. The sudden rise in values at home as usual has not caused any great excitement here and many dealers believe that as in the past prices will have fallen before their wants become pressing. They are buying enough to present themselves being cornered by foreign speculative importers. Latest quotations for Lead are:- Australian £12.0 to £12.2.6 c.i.f. L.B. Lead $12.4.0. Importers are quoting 108/- for Sohiera Exp.. 108/- for Alliance, and Goffin 110/- (Bar Iron is 2/6 dearer). No business 18 reported in Nailrods and the home market is apparently strong. 300 cases Galvanised Corrugated Iron have been sold at Tis. 6.00 per picul, and 500 cases Muntz Yellow Metal at £49.15 c.i.f. to ar rive. The home market for Scrap is strong and advancing; numerous contracts have been made for Horseshoes, Cart Tyres, and other items again this week, but details are kept private.

JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 29th October.--The market has continued to rule quiet; rates have shown a tendency to decline and in several stocks we have to quote lower rates. The quietness has been accentuated by the nearly total stoppage of business in Shanghai owing to the race- meeting.
BANES.-Hongkong and Shanghais.-The disturbing rumours from the North and a fall of 10s. on the London market has caused this stock to rule decidedly weak and sellers have been unable to get rid of their shares. Beyond a few small sales at 186 and 185 per cent. prem. we have nothing to port. Nationals have been neglected at quota- tion.
re-
MARINE INSURANCES.-China Traders have found investing buyers at $75 and $754, closing steady at former rate. Other Marine stock has been neglected.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs with shares offering all the week have declined to $252 without sales. Chinas are also weaker at $90 with no sales.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have ruled quiet at $354 with small sales. Indo- Chinas with the abatement of the demand in Shanghai have gone back to $58, after further sales at $60 and $59 cash and at $62 and $61 for December 31st. Douglas's have been dealt in in fair quantities at $67, $68, $69, $691, and $70, closing with sellers at latter rate. China Manilas look steadier and could be placed at $66. REFINERIES.-Sellers of China Sugars at $103 rule the market and we have no sales to report. Luzons continue neglected at $63.
MINING.-Small sales of Punjom Ordinaries at $6 and $5 and Preferences at $1.50, $1.60,
