THE SHARE MARKET.
$ o'clock, Since last writing sensational "booms" have taken place in the shares of the Punjom and Sunghie Due Samantan Mining Co. and of the Hongkong Rope Manufacturing Company. Punjoms, on the strength of a telegram alleged to have been received from some London syndicate -whosephilanthropy in wishing to acquire a property that has not yet returned a dollar to its owners, although thousands upon thousands have been spent on its deve- lopment, at about six times its original value, | is most astounding, suddenly jumped up from $1 to $17 per share, thousands of shares being bought and sold both for cash and forward delivery at these and interme- diate rates, But this surprising rush sinks into utter insignificance when compared. with the "corner." in the Rope Co.'s scrip. For some days past Ropes have been steadily rising, but it was not until this morning that the true state of affairs became apparent. From 120 the scrip jumped to 150, then In quick succession to 175 and 200, and at the time of writing we are unable to give anything like a reliable quotation. The Rope Company has not discovered a gold mine on the premises at West Point, nor has its legitimate business improved to any appreciable extent; but the fact remains that an original capital of $150,000 is to-day represented as being worth six lakhs. It is, of course, the Steam Launch Col "corner" over again, and the effects will practically be the same. A large number, of shares are reported to have been sold short," a powerful "ring" has been formed which controls the major portion of the full total of three thousand shares, and the " short-sellers" 'are once more completely cornered. We await further developments before dealing
in detail wiith this latest exhibition of local enterprise.
General business is fairly brisk, Banks have changed hands at 173 and fur- ther shares are offering at that rate. Some Yangtsze Insurances have been placed at taels 100, and this stock would appear to be firmer than has lately been -the case. Hongkong. Fires have further improved their position and are now in demand at 380, while China Fires are wanted at 86. Docks have dropped to 32 per cent. premium, and are decidedly out of favor. Steamboats are scarcely so firm as they were a few days ago, sellers at 228 now ruling the market. Business has been arranged in the scrip of the Indo-China S. N. Co. at par and there are additional buyers. Transfers of Douglas Steams at 72 have also been reported. Other quotations speak for themselves.
