BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais, with an improvement in the London rate to £90, have ruled firmer and a fair number of shares have changed hands at 8860. the market elesing steady at that rata. A fair or ber of local sales have been put through, sut veral aai lots have been purchased for Sangbui see ant Nationala continue in demand at, but shares remain very scaroo; it is doubtful, however, whether buyers would spring the rate it any shares were forthcoming.

China Traders have changed hands at $97 in small lots, but the stock per ae, since the 31st ultimo, is practically out of the market and only a few small lots which have not been absorbed by the smalgamation remain for treatment. Cantons have been negotiated in mall lots at $355, but at time of closing more shares are available at that rute, and the market closes inactive, North Chinos remain unchanged and without business, Yangtszes have improved to Tla. 190.
