BANKS.— Hongkong and Shanghais bave Alhambon shown some weakness, presumably on acconat of the continued advance of sterling exchange, and the consequent inducement to release China scrip and buy the London. the difference be. tween the two rates at the moment being some- what abnormal. Sales have been made during Bell's Asbestos E. A... 128. Gd. the week at $865 and $860, the market closing with sellers at the latter rate. Nationals have ruled quieter and offers to sell at 840 have met with no response; at time of closing a lower rate would be accepted, but buyers are not plentiful, and can make their own market to a great extent.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions have ruled in demand and sales have resulted at 8770 ex the dividend of $30, paid on the 30th ultimo. At time of closing shares could be placed at 8775, and possibly even at a further advance. Shares however are scarce and holders inclined to hold out for bigher rates. China Tradera' Cer. tificates (8170) are enquired for but none seem to be available, and until business is really prt through it is difficult to give a quotation, al- though it is safe to say that they would command a fair premium. Cantus remaiu firm at $355, but sbares are scarce, and sellers demand a higher rate. The Northern In- gurances remain unchanged and without business.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs remain un- changed with sellers at $305 and only very small sales to report. Chinas continue neglected at $86.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have found further buyers at $25 in fair lots, but close with sellers at that rate, while † point lower fails to bring out share. Indo-Chivas have also been affected by the high exchange, and have ruled weak with sellers at 892, and with but a small business. Douglases have been placed at the reduced rate of $40. closing steady at that. Star Ferries have changed hands at 832 old, and $22 now, and further shares could be placed at these rates. Shells remain at 278. without business.
REFINERIES.--China Sugars remain dull and we have no cash business to report. On time however some small sales bave taken place af - $1781 for July, and $180 for August; several o'her sales at erratic rates have taken place, chiefly cross transactions and take-overs, cash and time. The market closes more or less nominal. Luzons remain without business.
MINING. We have no changes or business to report under this heading.
