JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 14th September.-A somewhat easier feeling has been manifest in the market during the week under review; rates have ruled quieter in most stocks and business has restricted.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have been on offer most of the week at 314 per cent. prem. without finding buyers, but at time of writing sales have been affected at 3124 and 312 cash, market closing quiet at the latter rate. The last London quotation by Reuter remains at 255 10s. Od. Nationals have changed hands and are in further request at $26.
Marine INSURANCES.-With the exception of small sales of Unions at $260 and Cantons at $130, there is nothing to report under this heading.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs remain a dead letter, but Chinas have been enquired for in a small way and could be placed at $77 to $78.
Indo-
SHIPPING.-Hongkong. Canton and Macaos have been in steady demand, but holders do not appear at all anxious to part and only a limited number have changed hands at $30§ and $304, market closing firm at the latter rate. Chinas remain quiet and neglected with only very small sales and sellers at $834 and latter at $82. Douglases have further declined to $44 without sales. China and Manilas unchanged and without business. China Mutual, Preferences, have been placed at £11. Star Ferries are enquired for in a small way at quotations.
REFINERIES.—No business to report under this heading. Both quotations are more or less nominal.
