HONGKONG. 7th Jul 1905.-A rather better feeling has prevailed during the week, and although business is no better, the tone of the market has improved and most stooks appear to have struck bed rock. Several stocks have been in fair demand, but holders refusing to part | little or no business has resulted, and rates have corsequently in many cases improved.
BANES--Hongkong and Shanghais. Ac n- tinued demand and no supply, together with a further substantial rise in the London rate (to £-7), sent rates gradually up to 8-35, at which a few shares changed hands. Later, the demand continning, and no further shares being procur ahle, the rate further rose to $84", at which the market closes with buyers and no sellers. The rapid rise is doubtless chiefly due to the new Japanese loan of £30,000,000 about to be floated in London, the United States and Germany, which Reuter wires will be offered at 90, and 4 per cent, interest, payable in 20 years. This, together with the scarcity of shares in China, and the increasing tendency of home investors to buy the stock on the China register at a com- paratively lower rate than the sterling one, is quite sufficient to account for the rapid rise in rates. Nationals remain unchanged and with. out business.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions have improv ed to 870 with sales and buyers. Cantins have heen placed at $320, and close i demand. China 'Traders, apparently awaiting unknown develop- ments, have ruled easier, and after further sales at $75 close with sellers at 874 Yangiszes and North Chinas unchanged and without business. FRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have been placed in small lots at $302). Chinas remain on offer at $87, without sales.
SHIPPING. Hongkong. Canton and Macaos have been on offer during the week at $27 without inducing purchasers to come forward. Indos have been placed in limited lots at 895 and $96 cash and at the latter rate for the settlement, market closing with buyers for the 30th inst. at $96. On time we have no business We hire to report: latest Loudon rate £9.1". nothing else under this heading to report.
REFINERIES-China Sugars remain quiet, small sales at $213 for cash and with very settlement. Luzons unchanged and without business.
DOCKS, WHARVIS, AND GODOWNS.-Ho g kong and Whampoa Docks have ruled very steady and small sales have been effec'ed at the improved rate of $195 for cash. Kowloon Wharves are nquired for at $95, but holders do n ́t sem at Farnhamis, all incline to part at this rate. after backing and filling during the wosk between Tls. 142 and Hs. 137. close steady in Shanghai at 71s. 141,
LANDS. HOTELS AND BUILDINGS.-Hong. kong Lands continue o im rove. and, after smail sales of $114 and $15 are now enquired for at $116 and none seem to be obtainable.
