HONGKONG, 15th November, 1907.-The mar- ket has ruled uusettled during the week, with intervals of spasmodio activity, bat rates have in most cases ruled fairly steady, and in some show improvements, owing to the continuation of a small investing demand. Some of the smaller stooks have been in most request, and it is in those that the chief business of the week has resulted. Exchange on London 2/01 T.T.G. Island Cement. On Shanghai 744 T.T.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais, notwith- standing a fall in the London rat to £73 (old) and £71 ("ow), have ruled fairly steady, and small sales have been made at$66) (old) and $655 (new), the latter closing with more sellers than the former. Nationals remain unchanged and without business.
MARINE INSURANCES.-With the exception of North Chinss, which have improved to Tls 75, we have no business or changes to report under this heading.
FIRE INSURANCES.-With a continued de- mand at $310, after small sales at 3124 and no Ballers, the rate has improved to $315, at which severai salɔa have been effected, the market closing steady at $315. Chinas have also in- proved to 88 after sales at 871, closing at the former rate.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have continued in demand, and a fair business has beau put through at 301, and reported small sales at 304, closing at 34 with buyers. Shells have declined in London to 42/6. Other stocks under this beading remain unchanged and neglected.
REFINERIES.-China Sugars continue out of favour at 103 with sellers, a small demand however exists at 100. Luzons have declined to 15 with sellers,
MINING.-Raubs have ruled neglected and there are no buyers over 8, and no business to report. Chinese Engineerings have been placed to a limited extent at Tis. 14, and close steady at that. Langkals have improved in Shanghai to 330.
DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWN8.- Hong- kong and Whampoa Dooks, with shares on offer and no bayers, have declined to 99 with sellers, and it is probable that a lower rate would be accepted. Kowloon Wharves have been placed in very small lots at 67, the market closing fair- ly steady at that rate. New Amoy Docks are ubtainable at 10%, but we have no business to report. Shanghai Docks are easier at Tls. 72 and Hongkow Wharves at 202; the latter, how- over, with buyers in Shanghai.
LANDS, HOTELS & BUILDINGS.-With the exception of a small sale of Lands at 93, and males of Humphrey's at 104, we have nothing to report under this heading. The market for the former closes quiet, and for the latter steady with buyers.

FREIGHTS,
Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report, dated Shang- hai, 7th November, 1907, has the following:- Our Homeward Freight Market has steadied up a little since last writing, and although there is nothing special going forward owing to the close of the tea season some of the lines are getting better support than they expected. Coastwise:~ Rates seem to have reached high-water mark when we laat wrote and although no actual fall has set in as yet there are signs of a weakening and we are afraid lower rates must be expected in the near future:-Coal freights also are easier and although tonnage is not what can be called "abundant" there is practically no demand owing to the scarcity of stocks at Japanese shipping ports.
