October 3rd.

We hear that the troops lately stationed in the neighbourhood of the Arsenal have boon dispersed amongst other garrisons and their post replaced by more reliable men."

Az enormous snake is now being exhibited in the city. It is of immense length and its head is said to be as large ez a pummelo. The owners are making quite a little fortune by the exhibition.

In polot of weather the first of October was "all that could have been desired by those intent on marking the opening of the shooting season by a day's "aport up river. The day broka dall' and grey and remained cloudy until past ten o'clock; and although it was rather hot in the sum afterwards there was a cool crispness in the air which prevented say feeling of oppression either to the guns or the dogs. We understand that there was a fair show of pheasants alto gether, but that they were very wild, and only small bags were mads on that day.

A small guard of soldiers is sent to the different churches and chapels of the missionaries just now, and when a service is going on they attend without fis being known to the congrega- tion that they are there on duty. The other day one of the congregation rose and interrupted the preacher with the remark that he did not believe the words spoken were true, whereupon one of the soldiers requested the disbelieving native to sit down, adding, "every word the gentleman ways la perfectly true and very good talkes" og words to that effect and the preacher resumed his discourse.

The Viceroy, the Provincial Judge and the Tartar General jointly issued a proclamation on Monday last explaining to the people the trifling, causes which led to the trouble in the Arsenal, assung them that there was no reason to be alarmed, that no war was likely and that they. could continue to live in peace and quietness. As far as the Koino Hul were concerned, 'their Excellencies wished it to be known amongst the people that they were on the watch and that stringent orders had been given to arrest any of them that could be found;

to be on their guard people are warned not to spread any false reports such as have been lately current, one of them being that aw war with foreigners was imminent, which was altogether untrue, and they are cautioned that those found guilty of spreading such fales reports will be severely punished. Orders were given for this proclamation to be issued a week cariler than it appeared, but intentionally or otherwise the delay took place, and we understand that the officer whose duty it was to see it posted at once, received 1000 blows with the bamboo for not

THE WEEK'S SHARË BUSINESS.

Hongkong, October 3rd.

Since our last report business has been at a dead standstill, and there are no

indications worthy of reliance that the anticipated improvement is likely to come to a head-at all events in the near future. Banks, as we have all along predicted, have come down with a run, and they haven't seen the bottom yet by a long way. Shares are now freely offering for cash at 167 per cent. premium, but there is no demand for cash shares. Some "time" bargains at 174 for March have been reported, but so far as this business to concerned, those who run may read,

The National Bank of China's scrip has changed hands on greatly improved terms; Founders' shares have been done at from 8170 to $180, and ordinary shares have been freely negociated at as low as from 27 to 25 per cent, discount,

Nothing has been reported in Fire Insurances since we last wrote. Chinas are on offer at 87, and Hongkongs have dropped to 315 without an effort having been made to stem the ebbing tide.

Marine Insurances remain practically a dead letter.

Docks, notwithstanding recent phillan- thropic attempts to cut down the expenses -Directors' "squeezes”, under another name are still winked at with both eyes have steadily receded in public favor and are now freely offering at 80 per cent. premium, without attracting buyers. Docks are really worth about soper cent, premium, and that estimate is based on the practical policy of "writing off" which, almost under the coercion of this journal, the Directors have stuck to for years past.

Some Douglas Steams have been placed at 40 cum dlv., and there are now buyers at 38 div. Indo-Chinas have changed hands at 30 per cent discount, and are still in strong demand.

ኒ

A reaction'in favor of Steamboats set in during the week, and a fair amount of transfers were fixed up at rates between 321 and 34; the "boom" has, however, slightly weakened; and shares are freely offering at 334.
