SHARE REPORTS.
HONGKONG, 8th June, 1906.-A compara- tively fair business has been rat throngh dur. ing the week under review, chiefly of an investing nature; and although the small demand has not hardened tates, it has at any rate stemmed the incipient weakness which was more or less apparent last week, and the market closes with an unsatisfied small demand for some stooks, and possibly in consequence of the sudden weak- ness of silver, with a firmer tone than has been apparent for some time. Exchange on London 2/14, on Shanghai 72 nominal.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais, after a further small sale at $800, improved to $810, at which sales were affected. The market closes steady to strong at that rate with no shares on offer; the London rate has improved to £91.
MARINE INSURANCES.—Unions still remain in request at $800, but no shares come on the market and we have no business to report. China Traders are also in request at quotation, but shares are source and we have no sal-s to report. Cantons continue on offer at $360 withont fiuding buyers, and it is probable that a lower rate would be accepted by sellers. The Northern Insurañess remain unchanged and without business, '
FIRE INSURANCES.- Hongkongs are still wanted at $305, but we have heard of no sales. Chinas, have been placed at $55 and more are wanted at that prices. The stock, however, seems scarce at the moment.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have been placed at $25, the market closing with probable.further seller at that rate, and with buyers at $242.- Indo-Chinas have further declined to $75 with little or no business. The rate fu ndon, however, has improved to £10. Our local market closes weak with sellers. China and Manilas can be placed at $201, but no shares are available at that rate. Douglases also could be sold at $40 were shares obtainable. Shell Transports were in demand in the early part of the week at 278., bút sellers would rot part under 288, and at time of writing the weaker exchange has caused stoppage of buy- ing orders and the market closes quiet at 278. Star Ferries remain unchanged and without business
REFINERIES-China Sugars contious quite neglected, and we have heard of no business Luzons are also toʻally neglected.
MINING. Further than a coutinued demand for Raubs at quotations we have nothing to report under tais heading.
