LARGE BUSINESS IN DOCKS.
DEBENTURES IN STRONG
DEMAND.
Reviewing the Shanghai" share market for the week ending April 27, Messrs. A. W. Reynell & Co.. write as follow-
The share market has been quiet throughout the week with the ex ception of a few transactions in fairly large quantities for future deliveries. Although prices have dropped slightly there are no free sellers to be found.
Marine & Fire Insurances Unions, owing to the absence of a bonus being declared, showed some weakness and a few sales were made
as low as $335. The market has however, since strengthened and there are buyers at 8365 and possi bly higher. As far as shareholders cut here are concerned, in spite of there being no bonus, the return they get in dollar amounts to about the same as last year owing

Tolegraphic advices from Shang- hai state that prices of Chinese normal while cotton, yarn aro Japanese yarns have advanced by half a tael In Canton, prices of both Chinese and Japanese Fares are high on acconct of the high ex- change rate for Hong Kong manay. The demand has been short and the
consumption of cotton yarn has fallen since the anti-Japanese boy- cott was lifted as large quantities of picee goods have been imported.
