HONGKONG, 21st September. A fair business has been transacted during the week and rates in most cases have been well maintained. The China Mutual Steam Navigation Company advertises an interim dividend of three per cent. on preference and of five ou ordinary (£5 paid up) shares payable on 1st October.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have changed hands at 311 and 310 per cent prem. for cash and at equivalent rates forward, market closing steady at 310 per cent. Nationals are still enquired for at quotation but without Bales.
MARINE INSURANCES.-China Tradershave been placed at $57, Unions at $260, and Cantons at $130, the last closing in demand at $130. In the Northern Insurances there has been no local business and quotations are taken from the last Shanghai circulars.
FIRE INSURANCES.--À «mall lot of Hong- kongs has been placed at $294, market closing with sellers at $295. Chinas have changed hands at $77.
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have ruled steady to firm and have been placed at $30 and $31, closing steady at the latter rate. Douglases have been enquired for at S40 to $41, but holders do not seem disposed to part. Indos have ruled firmer; a small demand cash at $83 and $84 and at equivalent rates forward, failing to meet with any substantial response. China Market closes with buyers at £84. Manilas and China Mutuals unchanged and without business.
REFINERIES. Both China Sugars and Luzons continue neglected and without change.
MINING.-Punjoms have further declined to $33, the lower rate even failing to bring any Olivers B and buyers into the market. Caledonians have changed hands in small lots at quotations. Jelebus have declined to $84 with a very small business. Queens have found buyers at 124, and later at 10 cents, and Raubs have been placed at 853. In this last connection private advices from Singapore state that the whole of the new electric plant will be in October working order by the middle of Charbonnages continue in request without bringing any shares in the market.
DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks have been in fair demand and placed at 545 cash and 547 per cent. premium for 30th instant, whilst a small demand further forward remains unsatisfied. Kowloon Wharves have been placed in small lots at $86, old, and $58, new; the discrepancy in these two ruling rates is somewhat remarkable and unexplicable. Wanchais remain unchanged, but firm and in demand at quotation.
LANDS, HOTELS AND BUILDINGS.-Hong- kong Lands have continued steady to strong with small sales at $177, at time of closing Hongkong shares could be placed at $179. Hotels remain dull and inactive with little or no business. West Points have improved to $51 with sales at that, and at 851. Humphreys have changed hands at $10.
COTTONS.-No business to report under this
heading.
MISCELLANEOUS.-Green Islands have been negotiated at $20 and $194, closing with buyers at the latter rate. Watson have changed hands at $154. China Providents at 89 and Watkins at $10. Ices are enquired for cash and forward, but are difficult to obtain.

Union Insurance Society, Ordinary Yearly Meeting on 11th October; transfer books close on 1st October.
