THE SHARK Maxxrt.

5 o'clock.

The Share Market continues a conun- drum. Numerous transactions are reported from various quarters, but there is such a wide difference in the quotations given by different brokers that the entire business is tainted with suspicion and is wholly unreliable. When brokers and jobbers commence to buy from and sell to their own fraternity in order to make a market. legitimate operators and the easily gulled outside public are wise in standing aloof and letting the game severely alone. Things generally will doubtless quickly, find their proper level, but nevertheless, a vast deal of mischief is being done by unscrupulous traffickers who have made, or are supposed to have made a lot of money during the recent bully" times, and are still on the job." These remarks are necessary because nearly the whole of the business reported cannot be traced to legitimate sources, and we do not wish our readers to be misled by quotations

anything but trustworthy.

Banks have been metaphorically kicked from pillar to post for days past, and sales have been reported at all sorts of rates. One day it was alleged that the Bank had lost half a lakh of dollars at Yokohama, or

somewhere else, which amount was quickly reduced to seventy-five thousand, and finally to thirty thousand. How this became known of course nobody can say--but some people can and do think a great deal, and may find occasion to speak, freely at the proper time, and for all we know to the contrary it may be, a mere canard, although it is rare indeed we find smoke without fire. For forward delivery Banks have been placed at 184 per cent. premium for August, 186 for September, and the latest transaction reported was at 175 for the, end of the present month. Nothing has been done in Docks or Steamboats, but the latter stock is hardly so firm as the army of sanguine "bulls" could wish. The somewhat extensive and expensive repairs to the Honim, now in progress at Kowloon Docks, comprising a new keel-plate fore and

aft, causing besides a considerable 1055 of revenue, and the certainty that the vaunteil, new isstie, of shares will, for reasons connected with finance, fail to realise expectations and may altogether collapse, have proved rather a damper to the prophets who predicted that the stock which as an investment is worth about $200 per share at the outside-would be quoted over $300 before the end of June. It is, of course, always possible that a stock which is absolutely controlled by two directors-who, illegally own half of the entire shares-can be manipulated to suit these persons' little books,' and that this has been done with Steamboats we happen to know; that it may be done again is more than likely, although, if report speaks truly!

there are very few short sales to cover. The same influences that, have affected. Steamboats have "boomed" China Sugars, neither the reported, enhanced prices of refined sugars throughout the world nor the alleged splendid business lately done. by the Company in any shape justifying the present ridiculously inflated quotation. The latest business in China Sugars was at 254 for cash. Luzons are another of the mysteries; this morning sales were reported at from 109 to 11 for the end of the month, and an eminent, if not altogether disinterested authority is credited with having confidently stated that they would travel up to 150 before long. This Company has never yet paid a dividend, At is still deeply in debt, and, so far as we can learn, its business prospects are on anything but a satisfactory basis. Investors will be wise to leave it alone; speculators can look after themselves.

Panjoms are weak, with sellers at 22; this is doubtless more than they are worth on paper, but they will see a better day; Songel Koyahs have been done at 45 and China Borneos at go, and there are further sellers at both these rates, A few of Cruickshank & Co.'s shares have been taken up at 40. The scrip of the Green Island Cement Co., one of the most legitimate and promising of all the under. takings on our list, has been placed to an inconsiderable extent at 13 (new issue), but there are further buyers, and as soon as actual work is commenced, which will be within a very few days, there is certain to be a "boom" In this stock.
