at varying rates. The market commenced firm at Tls, 911, 921 for December, and 94 March. The Settlement, however, seems to have affected this stock to some extent, and cash shares were let go at Tls. 90 and 89, bringing out sellers at 90 for December. A reaction took place two days ago, when large orders from the South cleared the market of the cheaper shares, leaving our closing quotation at Tls, 91 December, and 93 March. There is no news of any interim dividend, which we do not expect to be declared. Docks and Wharves.-8. C. Farnham, Boyd & Co, Ld. Our market has gradually declined, and this in spite of a telegram received by the Head Office to the effect that negotiations pending for the sale of the property were progressing satisfactorily. A little unceasiness is felt in some quarters over the following extract from the telegram. "More time is required to enable the promoters to get the necessary capital fully subscribed." The maket rates have declined from Tis. 181 December to 177, at which rate there are sellers at the close. Shares have been dealt in for January at Tls. 181, 180, 179, 178, and for March 183, 1821. The market, however, is very weak allround at these rates. Shanghai and Hongkew Wharves.-A considerable number of shares have changed hands at Tls. 164 and 164 Transac- cum now issue for December delivery. tions are reported for March at Tis. 1421 for the old, and 140 for new shares, also Tls. 163 c.n.i. Sugars. China Sugars are quoted at $236 buyers in Hongkong. Mining --Weihaiwei Golds.--
