Hongkong with the help of the able and energetic men now in charge of affairs should not continue to secure a fair share of what is going. There are one or two other local industries whose stocks also show a slight depreciation in the share reports, as compared with year ago, but in most instances they occupy positions which they really do not deserve to fill in view of the discretion exercised in their manage ment and the excellence of their products. With better trade all round they will undoubtedly share in the accruing benefits and the close of the year will see, we hope, a higher reading in the share barometer for one and all.
