HONGKONG, 27th August, 1909.-Local stocks continue dull and inactive and we have but little to report in them. Rates remain fairly steady but have an inclination to weakness in most
Exchange
London T/T 1/9 1/16, and on Shanghai 744.
BANES.-Hongkong and Shanghais bave ruled rather weaker and small sales have been made at 1,002 and 1000 ex the dividend of $22.72 paid on the 23rd instant, the market closing quiet with sellers at 1,002. Nationals remain unchanged and without business.
MARINE INSURANCE.-The market continues very dull and we have no sales or changes to report.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs are still enquired for at 345, but sellers ask higher rates and we have heard of no business. Chinas continue on offer at 115 without inducing buyers to come forward.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have been placed at 314, and sellers at 31 rule the market at time of closing. A small further demand at 31, however, remains unsatisfied. Indos have improved in the North to 48 Tls. but it is apparently quite a nominal rate.
We
have heard of no local business. Shells suffer. ed a decline in the early part of the week to 70%, but have since rallied to 72/ on a recovery in London to 71/9 from 69/9. Other stocks under this heading call for no remarks.]
REFINERIES.-China Sugars have ruled fairly steady during the week at 139/140 with some small sales, the market olosing with buyers st 140. Luzons have further advanced on a speculative demand from Manila to $30 after sales at 26, 28 and 30, the market closing with sellers at the highest rate.
MINING. With the exception of Chinese En- gineerings, which have fallen to 181, and Lang- kats, which have again risen in the North to 1,075 we have nothing to report under this heading.
DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Dooks have been in some demand and the rate has improved to 60, ex the dividend of $1 raid on the 24th instant, the market closing with further buyers. Kowloon Wharfs have been the medium of a fair business at 60 and 59, closing with buyers at the latter rate. Shanghai Docks have declined to 70 in the North. Hongkew Wharfs have improved to 150, after sales at 147 and 148.
LANDS, HOTELS AND BUILDINGs-Hong- kong Lands remain unchanged at 105 with buyers after some sales at that rate. Weat Points have been placed in small lots at 44, Hotels are a little quieter and we have only small sales at 45 for new to report. Humphreys close considerably lower and are obtainable at 91. Kowloon Lands remain on offer at 30.
