THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
HONGKONG, 28th June, 1907.-The market
has tuled very unsteady during the week under review, chiefly owing to a temporary fail in Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Shares in Lon- don on account of a glut of new issne shares thrown on the market. Towards the end of the week, however, with the news of a rapid recovery of the stock in London, everything assumed a brighter aspect, and rates which were inclined to droop quickly recovered. A fair amount of business has been transacted at about the same rates as those ruling last wek, and the market closes steady at quotations.
Our

The weakness in London, however, was as temperary as it was sudden, the market very 1020 quickly recovering itself, and at time of closing 8.50 authentie private advices quote £99. rum all, 11.00 £76. ex new issue, and £42 prem new issue.

Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report, dated June 20th, 1907, has the following:-There is not much change to report in our homeward freight market since last writing except that th` skins and wool se son is now rapidly coming to close, and the green tea season is taking its lace, the liners getting the preference of the glass chops both via Pacific t the United States and via Suez canal to Europe. There is very little doing
coast and rates have slackened all round siace at writing. Although tonnage is limited there no particular demand in any direction.
