TO-DAY.
THE SHARK MARKET.
5 o'clock.
Share business continues of such a nominal and unreliable character, that any comments on actual transactions, unless in a few Instances, would only tend to mislead. Owing to a combina- tion of causes, which we may be able to explain later on, the market has been.. a's dead as the proverbial herring for days past, nor does there appear to be much hope for an early revival of the busy times of a faw short weeks ago. The desolation on the Rialto is all but universal, and members of the fraternity who were credited with having realised handsome fortunes out of the various
booms" and "corners" are looking as cheerful as mutes at a funeral. Money is scarce, the banks have pulled a tight rein on overdrawn accounts, and operators on paper' margins find their occupations gone. As we pointed out long since, all this was inevitable, and it can only have come as a surprise to those who refused to look beyond the hour,
. Stocks all round have, as a natural result of the general depression, falién considerably, and the tendency is still downwards. The gambling mania has run lis course, and the hollow founda- tion of the ridiculous "booms" In certain serips having completely collapsed, people are now able to estimate them at some- Banks thing like their actual value, remain fairly steady at 179, although nothing in the shape of business worth mentioning has been reported. Docks have dropped to 75, and are quite friendless at that rate, while Steamboats were sold this morning at 41 and 40. Both Sugar stocks have had the bottom knocked out of them; China Sugars are quoted at something between 268 and 273, and Luzons are nominally at 109 for the end of the month. Punjoms have fluctuated considerably, but no liberties have been attempted with this first class gambling medium, and there are cash buyers. at from 25 to 26. The Wharf and Godown Co.'s and the Tonquin Coal Mining Co.'s scrips have greatly depreciated, as have Jelebus, Selamns, and other kindred stocks. Land Investments have fallen, owing to another reported Chinese position, as low as 133, but a few shares changed hands this afternoon at 134 and 135, and there are further buyers. Other quotations may be taken for whatever they are worth.
