MANILA, 7th July (from Messrs. W. A. Fitton & Co.'s Monthly Report).-Since publication of our circular No. 31 of 2nd ulto., our share market has continued dull and lifeless, and there is noth- ing of importance to advise. Transactions.-Too trifling to report. Demand.-Dead for the mo- ment, and likely to remain so until money is easier. Meetings.-Banco Espanol-Filipino, Compania Maritima, Electric Light Co., Ice Co., and Oriente Hotel hold their half-yearly meetings during current month; we presume the Manila Invest ment Co. and Philippine Tobacco Trust also will present their annual report for year ended April' 30th Inst. American Bank-Made a very satis- factory showing on the 9 months' working ended Soth ulto. On the subscribed capital of $27,500 gold they paid a dividend of 4 per cent. and passed $2,750.00 (say 10 per cent.) to r serve fund. The management are to be congratulated on such a good result General.-Business is in. a most unsatisfactory condition, and there appears little promise of relief in the near future. "Some excellent dividend-paying concerns are at very low figures, but there is no disposition on the part of the investing public to touch any kind of stock, money being so very tightly held now, and facilities for loaning practically non-existent.
