THE SHARE
MARKET
Harriman's Weekly Review
19th December 1998. Mesars, G. A Harriman & Co.'s weekly share report and market review Issued at noon to-day at- te:-
The past has been a quiet and rather featureless week in the share market, but quotations for local descriptions have been well maintained. and Manila shares al- though without much change, show slow, but sure improvement. The recent local liquidation Ad- víces from Manila, recommend purchases round present levels; we pass on similar advice to our rea-. ders, with the added recommenda- tion that producing
compantes shares are likely to prove the most profitable investment,
With the exception of Hong, Kong Electrics, taken at $54; util-' ity shares have been a somewhat dull market. China Lights (old) however were bought in fair hum- ber's from $12.50 up to $1275 clos- ing. Telephones (old) exchanged at $28 and now have buyers at this. The "New" shares were dealt in at $10. Star Ferries had sales at $93, and Sandakan Lights are up to $10 biď. But this figure falls attract sellers. Truma have small buyers at $13.10 after sales at $12.15.

Banks and Insurance shares continue in demand. Hong Kong Banks are wanted at $1810, after
·transactiona at $1815. Unions have Improved to $812.50 with sales re- ported at $615. Both Canton In- surance and Hong Kong Fires are $300 and this price must discount expectations of a more generous dividend payment for the current year. Bank of East Asis: are $83,
Wharves have eased to $106. with buying enquiries about $1 Juwer. The American shipping 4trike would appear to be the cause for the drop in this popular share. Providenta (old) had sales at $1.334. but close near $1.40. Pro- vidents
