BANKS Hongkong and Shanghais.-The demand for shares reported in my last was not long, maintained, and sellers instead of buyers forward soon ruled the market. A few and unimportant small sales have taken place for December at 197 and 198 per cent. premium and for February at 202 and 203 per cent. premium; cash shares have changed hands, also in small lots only, at 1914 and 192 per cent. premium. Market closes quiet at 192. The latest London rate quoted is £12 158. Nationals have changed hands at $25 and are wanted at that rate.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Have all ruled quiet and beyond sales of Cantons at $190 and of North Chinas and Yangtzes in the North at quotations I have nothing to report.
I
¿FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs still remain neglected with no sales at quotation. Chinas have changed hands at $96) and $97, closing with buyers at former rate and sellers at the latter.
|
SHIPPING-Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have found further buyers at $334 and are still wanted in small lots at that rate. Indo-Chinas have further declined to $39. with sales ; at that rate, however, a strong demand exists for the shares and none seem to be obtainable. China and, Manilas, continue neglected and weak at quotation with no business. Douglases appear to have dropped out of the market and few if any sales to have taken place during the week; sellers have ruled the market at $57, $564, and $56, at which last rate the stock closes with sellers.
REFINERIES-China Sugars have been un- able to maintain their position and have ruled rather weaker with sales at $138, $137), and $137. At time of writing market looks a little firmer with buyers and sales at $138. Luzons have continued to improve with sales at $53, $54, and $56 cash, and at equivalent rates for- ward Market closes weak at $56.
MISCELLANEOUS.-With the exception of small sales of Ices at $107 and Electrics at $6.75, Watsons at $12.85 and Fenwicks at $294, I have nothing to report under this head- ing.
MINING Punjoms.-The good result of last month's crushing, contrary to general expecta- tions, has not strengthened the market, shares having been on offer during the week at $12 and $1175 without leading to much business. Hanbe have further improved to $6, at which they have been in strong demand; not many shares, however, have changed hands, holders not being desirous to part. Jelebus have found small "buyers' at 'quotation Balmorals and Ohvers have continued quiet and neglected, and Charbonnages still continue out of the market.
DOCKS, WHARYES, AND GODOWNS--Hong kongy and Whampoa Docks, after touching p20), per cont, promii, at which rate some small ansactions were put through, eased up a little have ruled quiet with little or no business, small sales at 221 for the of the
