MiscellanEOUS.-Green Islands were in strong demand in the early part of the week, and sales were effected as high as 830 for cash, a fair forward business at various rates was put through. Later however the market weakened considerably, and at the close sales have been mado at $29, and more shares could probably be obtained at that, or at a slight advance.
China Borneos are obtainable at $9.75. Watsons at $134 and old Electrics at $14, while Gas shares, Steam Waterboats, and China Light and Power Co.s are enquired for at quotations. MEMO.-A. S. Watson & Co., Ld., extra- ordinary general meeting on the 15th June.
