nd C

Messrs. G. A. Harriman weekly share report and market view issued at noon to-day states

·have. Markets the world over been easy during the past week, and this easiness is attributed to fear of the American gold price being lowered, which fear does not appear to have been entirely allay- ed by President Roosevelt's state- ment that such a rumour is entire- ly in the

The Colony's trade continues to expand and business in Hong Kong is better to-day than for long past, so that discerning investors, should take courage and pick up shares now, at what, at the year's end may look like bargain prices.

is
