The amount of cash business trans. acted has been fair, but time coutracts are still conspicuous by their absence. Exchange on London 28. 1d. On Shanghai Tis. 721.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais, after - small sales in the early part of the week at 895 and 8974, suddenly rose to 920, with some small sales, and the market clos s steady at that, rate. The London rate remains nuchanged at 105. The sudden rise in the Hongkong rate is attributable to the inevitable resumption af comparative normal rates between London and i China which bare
lately ruled somewhat abnormal. Au advance in the China or a fall in the Loudon rate was clearly indicated, and taking into consideration the firmness of the former, and the comparative inactivity of the latter, the course which the market las taken was
more or leg to be anticipated. Nationals have been placed during the Berk at 51 and c'os with further have at that rat-
MARINE INSURANCES - With a few shares on offer and no immediate buyers Unions love fallen to 770, after sales af 775 and 770, the y market closing steady at the later rate.
