Messrs. J. P. Bisset & Co. of Shanghai in their Share Report for the week ending December 3rd, 1908, state:-There has been a fair amount of business put through since our last issue, but for the first time for some weeks rates in Maatschappij, etc. in Langkats do not show any change of importance, remaining steady in the neighbourhood of Tls. 900 per share. Shanghai and Hongkow Whuves a considerable number of shares have changed bands, and the rate has varied a good de 1. Generally speak- ing the December Settlement claims most attention, but a considerable business has also been done for March delivery. Banks.-H. & 8. Banks. A good demand set in this week and no shares being obtainable at the current market rate of $875, the rate improved to $885. This is the equivalent of $850 in Hongkong. The T. T. rate on London to-day is 2/2 Marine & Fire Ins.- North-China Insurance. A sale has tak n place at Tls 971 Shipping.-Shanghai Tug & Lighter Co. A fair amount of business has been done in the ordinary shares, and the rate has improved from Tis. 45 to Tls. 49. Small Lots of Preference shars are market at Tls. 51. Docks & Wharves,-Shanghai Dock and Engineering Co., Ltd. A good demand has prevailed. The cash rate obtainable last week was Tls. 72 only, but at the close to-day there are buyers at Tls. 77 for cash and Tls 77 for December Shanghai and Hong- kew Wharf Co.-Our market opened with sals for December at Tx, 1-45 and Tls. 144. Large quantities of shares were on the market with the result that rates quickly declin- ed and on the 28th alt. business was report ed as low as Tls 137 for December. Since that date there has been a better feeling. Cash shares which were offered at Tla, 138, Tla. 138, Tls. 139, Tls. 140 and Tls. 142 were all taken up, and we would quote our rates at olos- ing as Ts. 112 for cash and Tis. 1421 for Dec. Sugars. No business reported. Mining. No business reported. Lands.- hangbai Land Investment Co. Shares are wanted at Tis. 116 Anglo-French Linde are inquired for at Tis. 100. Industrial. Ewo Cottons.A fairly extensive business has been done in these shares during the week but hardly any change in the rate is to be reported. Ca-h shares have been dealt in at Tls, 7 and Tls. 07). For December Tis. 68 and Tls. 681 and for March at Tis. 72 and Tls 73. Shanghai Gas Co. Shares are wanted at T:8. 117. Maatschappij &o in Langkata There has not been the sime attention given to these shares that has prevailed for some time past, and rates have been easier on the whole. The highest rates recorded this week were Tls, 900 for cash, Tls 910 for December, and Tla. 960 for March, and since the 28th inst. when these prices were obtai able our market has been quiet. We would quote at closing the cash rate of Tla. 890 and for December Tls 00, with sales for March at Tls. 930. Shanghai Sumatra Tal acco Co. There have not been any buyers for some time and their absence yesterday tempted a seller to dispose of shares at Tls. 120 for March, to be quickly followed by a purchase at Tls, 127. It is difficult to find the exact hang of this market, but at Tls. 118 for December and Tls. 125 for March shares could be placed. Shanghai Water- wors are wanted at Tls 413. Miscellaneoug Rates will be found as appended below. Loans and Debentures.-There is no bu-iness recorded this week.
