conditions. Among the few trans actions listed on the next day were S.M.C 75 debentures at $10250.

Shanghai Water Works 61% Pre- ference shares at $15.50, Shanghai Telephone at 15. Only a very small busitiess was recorded on Thursday and Friday the under- tone of common shares was easy and further declines were register. ed in the debenture market. Further weakness was noticeable in the general section of the local share market on Saturday and Ewos were marked down 30 cents to $9 and Explorations dropped 15 cents to $4.80. Although trading was open for the January settlement, bid ding was very slow. The deben ture market with the exception of China, Realty which dropped: 50 cents, was unchanged. The mar- ket was a shade steadier this Mon.. day but brily a small amount of business was done.

Despite the fact that Saturday was the last day for business before the Bourse close for four days for the Xmas holidays, the share mar ket was comparatively · buoyant, brisk buying taking place in some branches and prices improving all round under the induence of favourable reports from Industry and an atmosphere of confidence created by icering's pronounce- ments made to a foreign newa agency, in favour of international co-operation. Fixed interest securi- ties, however; continued to be dull. Cali money 3 to 4, Young Loans Rävanced 1/8 to 99; Reichsbanks dropped 1 point to 140.
