MID-WEEK REPORT.
Mesars, Harry O. Odell & Col report as follows:-
Several favourite counters have suffered a slight set-back due to a ecrtain amount of profit-taking, which is inevitable, but the under tone of our market generally has remained quite steady.
LONDON REPORTS.
Not for many years bas silver fallen so low in price as it is now, Bays the China Exprss Telegraph of September 10. In October, 1915. it was down to 231; at the time of writing it is well under that quota tion at 23 9/16d., which compares with 201d. at the beginning of January and d. the highest Prices are expected to re-net fur-point in 1929, and there is nothing ther in the next few days, but the in sight to suggest that it has a general opinion is that conditions

Banks.-Eased off a little to -81,370, but with the drop in the sterling rate of exchange, a' fresh demand for this stock is not un- likely.'
Unions. Changed hands at $378 to $380, with further sellers at the latter rate.
Canton Insurance.-Were dealt in up to $700, at which price there. are buyers.
Hong Kong Fires.-Remained at about 2813 without attracting
sellers.

Steamboats. As high as 8273 had been paid, but the market has since depreciated and shares

Wharves-Were done at 8145 to $1483, closing with sellers at the former figure.

Docks.-Came in for some atten- tion and improved to $34.
Providents. Large blocks of shares changed hands at rates rang- ing from 83 to 851. The demand having apparently been satisfied, the market has weakened slightly and shares are now being offered at! $3.60.
Hotels.Attracted a great deal of attention and were transacted from $10.10 to $10.66, closing casier with. sellers at $10.40.
China, the domianting factor in the silver market, continues to be an active soller. During her pro- longed period of unrest China laid up large stocks of the white metal, These, it now seems, are considered superfluous owing to the improve- ment in the situation, though the market is at a loss to reconcile the extent of the selling with the poli-

An additional cause of the weak- ness has been absence of support from India. Some little demand may be expected from that quarter in the autumn, but the Indian Gov-
ernment has made no secret that its holdings of the metal are much too large for its requirements. It is therefore to be feared that the full effect of India's renunciation of the silver standard has yet to be realised and that the real test for 'silver will' come when Chian, the only country of any importance using the silver standard, rightly claim. to have returned to a state of normality.

Messrs. Moetta and Goldsmid, referring to silver, reported or September 12:The weakness men- tioned last week has continued, and there have been heavy sales of silver from America and the East, almost the only support being bear cover- ing. India has shown very little disposition to buy for shipment. The price fell to 23 13-16d. yester. day. the lowest quotation since 1915, but to-day, in the absence of sellers, it has recovered 1-16d. The: market still, however, lacks those elements of strength that could give it a good undertone,
