Metals.-(From M. Alex. Bielfeld's report.)- 21st November.-A fair business has been done in Nailroad Iron, and there is now sufficient on contract to apply this market for some months to come. Nothing has been reported regarding Lead, being from at about quotations "to arrive 212.90 for L.B. Contracts have been made for about 800 tons Sohiers Exp., and for 40 tons Goffin Nailrods, terus private. 400 cases Cor- rugated Iron have also been sold. Scrap Material, Sales are reported as under:-30 tons Steel Plate Cuttings at Tls. 1.85, "spot;" 100 tons Scrap Iron 64/6 &.i.f.; 400 tons London Horse- shoes private
"to arrive" 200 tons Hamburg Horseshoes at Tla. 1.62) "spot."
JOINT! STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 26th November. With a less belicose tone in the political telegrams from Europe the market has shown more activity and a fair business has been put through in most of the leading stocks. Rates which have not ad- vanced have remained steady with very few exceptions and the market closes fairly firm at qnotations.
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais.-The firmness reported in our last continued and small sales were effected at 183 and 184 per cent. premium. Some sales were reported at 185, but as shares were obtainable at the time at 184 we can hardly make that a quotable rate. At time of closing shares could be ob- tained at 184 per cent. premium cash and at equivalent rates for the end of the year and for January.
MARINE INSURANCES-China Traders have changed hands at $73, Cantons (a small lot) at 8185, Unions a $1974, and Straits at $251. Cantons are wanted at $185, but none are ob- tainable under $190. -
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs continue neglected at $255 and Chinas are on offer at $89 without finding buyers; an offer of $88 would most likely bring out shares.
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have continued to rule steady at $36 and $35‡ with sales at those rates, market closing in- active. Douglas's have improved their position with sales at $53, $54, $55, $56, and $57 ex bonus, closing with buyers at $56 and sellers at $57. Indo-Chinas have changed hands at $57 and more shares are wanted at the rate; the probability of an interim dividend is rumoured. China and Manilas have again found buyers at $69.
REFINERIES.-China Sugars have advanced to $108 with sales and close steady at that. Luzons after small sales at $59 are enquired for at 860, and $61 would probably be paid for shares.

is fast fading that the further business this season will be of any great importance. There have been no more departures for Newchwang, that Port being expected to close by this time. What business has been done is almost entirely for Tientsin, the demand, seemingly, being limited to a few well-known chops only, so far as importers are concerned, the dealers being in a position to supply the rest, if necessary, but it is said the merchants have really more than is requisite, and are reselling on this market some makes, when possible, to cover the prices they paid. The demand has continued to run on English Sheetings and American Drills, holders of the former being willing to meet the market rather than carry them throngh the winter; although the prices are much below the cost of replacing they still give a good return. For for ward delivery better values are obtainable, but as the business done is mostly on a sterling basis the indentors, doubtless, hope for an improve ment in exchange. For American goods the
