Hong Kong Sharebrokers'
Association
The market has been er during the last week although business continues on a smali scale only. Sellers experienced difficulties as all shares offering, were readily absorbed.

The shares yielded to sell- ing pressure and dropped from $84 to $75, but later rallied to $77 with buyers at this figure.
Hotels offering at $6.40 wer readily taken up. Trams improved from $17 and changed hands at steady de- $17.65. There was a
HK. Docks and sales mand for were reported at $21 for the old shares. HK Banka were wanted at $1,480, Electrics at $50), and Watsons at $6.80.
Gold Mining Stocks have re- mained steady although there is in prices. Mantis little change market close quiet.
