Review

Mesars G. A. Harriman & Co. weekly share report and market review issued at noon to-day states:-

The events of the past week at Home have disturbed the world's principal stock markets and the uncertainty created overseas has also been reflected in this colony, causing markets to adopt a heri-

tant policy, so that trading during the past week has been on a re- stricted scale, with quotations generally marked lower. The re- assuring news of the last 30 hours, should re-establish confidence and with the advent of the new year we look for a healthier market and a resumption of the active con- ditions that were with us during the summer months. A spate of

com-

of dividend announcements by several Philippine mining panies must eventually attract Buyers again for these better pro- ducers shares and when the pre- sent (reported tightness of money in Manila is eased, with the pass- ing of 1937, we should see quota- tions higher.

Hong Kong Electrics have been marketed up to $51. but China Lights have come under seiling pressure and receded to $1285 cum (a decline of 65 cents, over the period) Trams also, Are down. at $12. "sales and Star Ferries, at 393. Telephones · (old): sold in small numbers at $28.15 and the "New" at 310, Offers are invited of Bandakan Lights near $9 but sellers

are conspicuously absent

#

Cements have lapsed to nonimal quotation of $10.75 and Hopes were sold as low as $2.40.

Dairies can be taken at $20. after small sales at this figure and Eellers of Watsons invite bids near 33.75. Hotels, after exchanges at $5.50, are now. $5.60 buyers, Lands continue on after a $37.50 and Fealtys have been sold down to $4.60. New Constructions
