GOSSIP FROM THE SHARE-MARKET.

QUIET WEEK PRECEDES HONG KONG'S RACE

MEETING.

FREE ADVICE FOR INVESTORS.

[By "KUFAN."}

Gosip often moves the market, but no investor should either buy | or sell on market possip only.

REPLIES TO READERS.

Readers of the Daily Pren who The share-market during the past desire information or advice in week was fairly quiet, this being connection with the Hong Kong, due, no doubt, to the race-meeting Shanghai, or

Singapore share- this week, and the consequent stop markets are invited to write to page of operations in Ice House" Kufan," care of the Editor of this Street. The majority of rates show paper. Name and address of the

a slight decline in prices, but as this happens regularly about this time every year, very little atten- tion need be paid to this tempor ary setback.

The only appreciable rises took place in Banks, Canton Insurances, and Hong Kong Fires. The Shang. hai market, from the latest advicce obtainable, also appears

be marking time at present, oving in large measure to the gloomy poli tical outlook up North.

༥

to

HONG KONG, BANKS: "A fairly large number of shares were hand- led by the brokers during the earlier part of the week at ratta between $1,370 and $1,375, but owing to a slight drop in exchange, a sudden spurt took place be fore the close of the week, and busincas was "registered in the vicinity of 81,300 and $1,400 Al- though buyers were not offering more than $1,390 on Saturday, sellers could not be found at this figure, and I expect $1,400 will have to be paid after the races.

́INSURANCES-During the week there were many inquiries for In- aurances shares. Buyers were offer ing $740 for Cantón Insurances without fading sellers. Hong Kong Fires were wanted at $850, but even at this high rate no busi- ness was reported. Unions stood at $350, and there are buyers in the. market at this rate. China Under- writers were the only stock:to regis ter a decline, and I imagine the call of 1 per share has something to do with this. The call is, pay- able in May. Shares were dealt in at 81.40 during the week, but even at this rate buyers are holding off, waiting for cheaper prices..

L

WHARVES--After shares, had changed hands at $155. further sellers appeared on the market. Three parcels were all bought up, but at the close of the week buyers. were offering less than $155 for sheres.

correspondent must be enclosed. It is desirable that a nomme-de- plane be also included, to enable the reader to pick out the answer intended for him.

Every effort will be made to give as full and complete a reply as possible, but this is done on the distinct understanding that no re- sponsibility whatever is admitted by so doing.

Those who have written in during the last week will find answers' to their queries below; →→ GABY--Shares will not reach 834 for some time, and there is no prospect of their doing so within After the next twelve months.

Regarding1780 your second question, while I think the price of the stock will go up, I do not think it will double its present market value, Your third question is difficult to answer. At present I can see nothing that will reach the per- centage you mention, but I would recommend Lands and Electrica as likely stocks to appreciate.

not put the HOME-You need

shares into your own name. Put $12 them into the name of some rela- tivo or friend, and if you give him an indemnity, there should be no trouble. To protect your self, get your friend to sign a deed of transfer, but do not com plete the document until you are prepared to sell the shares.
