ciated on the new basis at 725, and there are still buyers at that price. Yesterday we quoted North China Insurance scrip at 1675 business having been done at that rate; to-day a sale at 1900 has been re- ported--an, advance of no less than taels

225.

Yangtze Insurances are in re- quest at 950, but we have heard of no transfers in the local market. Hong- kong Fires, as we stated a few days ago would be the case, have risen almost to the old rate. This afternoon, shares have changed hands at 1300, and latterly at 1400, the stock leaving off in good demand at the higher quotation. China Fires
