5 o'clock. The only movement of importance since our last report has been a "boom" in Steamboats, which took place late yester day afternoon. A large number of shares changed hands at from 215 to 218 for cash, 219 for the end of the month, and 220 for Haiphong October, and further business has been put through to-day at the cash rate, also at 219 for delivery on the 31st instant. There are now cash buyers at 218 and sellers at 219. The reasons alleged for this sudden run on the stock are, as usual, of that mysterious character which can only satisfy those who have made up their minds to be easily satisfied. That old yarn about the Boal withdrawal of the opposition steamer Ping from the Canton River has again been made to do duty, and in addition to this "piper's news" it is reported in all seriousness that the immediate opening of the West River to foreign trade has been officially sanctioned, Even assuming that this last named report is strictly accurate, and we are not inclined to doubt it, a question arises whether the opening of this important water way will prove such an unmixed boon to the Steam- boat Company as appears to be generally Hongkong Observatory, 22nd August, 1888. accepted as a matter of fact,

China Sugars stand nominally at 11. other stocks there has been nothing to report.
