SHARE BEPORT."
Mesare, Benjamin and Potts, in their share report dated Friday, the 3rd of August, 1917, state:-
Our market has been somewhat more active since our last report of the 27th altimo, and more transactions are reported. Local Docke and Wharves have been in demand and have had a rise of several points. There is still scarcely any enquiry for lovestment stocks, which remain at about last week's level. Exchange has farther advanced, which of course has its effect on all local stocks.
In Shanghai the Cotton share market has been active, and prices have advanced all round. At the close there is a slightly easier feeling noticeable, which we regard as only temporary.
The Singapore market shows slight advances in most stocks and the market is very steady, The local July Settlement passed of satisfactorily on the 27th ultimo.
BANKS-Farther small sales of Hongkong and Shanghai Banks have been made at $665, the market closing with sellers at this rate. MARINE & FIRE INSURANCES-No sales are reported ander this heading and quotations remain unchanged from isst week, sa Lowe ---Cantons at $340, Unions at 8835, and Hongkong Fires at $315, all weliers; North Chinse at Tls. 140 nominil, and there are Bayera of Yanglezes at Shanghai 8105 (Exch: 73) and China Fires st $143.
