(BY C. A. L. RICKETT) Member-Secretary, Hong Kong Sharebrokers' Association The market has been firmer during the last week. With the exception of some instances of proât taking scrip has been dim- cult to obtain and prices have shown a steady all round improve- ment.

Providents after having remained quiet for most of the week came in for enquiry and the old shares changed hands at $33 Hotels came to business at $6.55 and $6.60. China Lights (o)
but had buyers at $1105,
could probably be obtained at $11.15. Electrics were wanted at $61. Wat- son's at $7.05 and Cements at $16.80 Canten Insurances chang-Barber & Co. ed hands at $220..
After announcing An interim dividend of $2 Star Ferries came in for enquiry at 5791. The Tram- way Company has announced an Interim dividend of $5 cents, pay- able on August 15,
