SHARE REPORTS.
HONGKONG, 4th November, 1904.-Business generally has fallen off considerably during the past week, the position as regards. Indo- Chinas being affected largely by the intervening Shanghai Races which have practically stopped business in this stock with the Northern port.

MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions are firmer again with buyers at $635. China Traders can be placed to a small extant at $61. North Chines are in request at Tls. 80 ex the final dividend of 10 per share for 1903 paid on the 26th October. Cautons are easier with sales and a few shares obtainable at $252.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs continue in request at $335. Chinas bare sold, and are in further demand at $90,
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have ruled steady with sales at $30, and pro- bable further buyers at the rate. Indo-Chinas have been neglected throughout the interval, owing largely to the influence of the Shanghai Race Meeting, and closing quotation of $130 sellers shows a slight falling off as compared with last week's rate. China and Manilas have. fallen to $23 sellers, and Douglases to $35 sellers the latter after sales at $36 and $35.
