SHARE REPORT.
HONGKONG, 22nd September, 1905.-We have nothing of any importance to report and but few changes in rates. The market continues very quiet, and in the absence of forward buyers is likely to remain so.
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais have changed hands at $900, but sellers at that rate rule the market at time of writing. The latest London quotation is £90. 15s. In Nationals we have no change or business to report.
-
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions have been placed at the further improved (rates of $7 0 and $782), closing with buyers at 8785. Chin Traders, on rumours of a hitch in the transfer of the Company, bave ruled quieter, and in order to effect sales on a weak market, sellers had to drop the rate three points to $77. At this rate a fair number of shares obanged hands, and at the oloss shares are wanted at $78. The bitch referr, d to appears to be a legal one, which in competent 7 80 and skilful hands can doubtless be circumvented. and should not cause any serious areasin, ss. 19.50 Canton remain quiet and without business at $335.
