COMMERCIAL.

Shanghai Share Market.

28th August, 1013. The market till exhibits great slackness, and there is vory little of moment to report. Langkats are considerably weaker and find numerous sellers at Tls. 23. Very few transactions have taken place, and those recorded below repre- Bent a very small bulk of business. The tenor of the market is not sufficiently pronounced to warrant commenting од individual}

stocks.

It seems this business between dealers and dealers, which in the case of Szeohaen.orders, is a very large and much sought-after one, is done in a more or lees friendly, casual sort of way, without proper contracts passing and so on. As a rule, naturally, it goes through smoothly enough, but there have been occasions when demanda-to be let off were met, moro as a matter of policy and with an eyo to future favours, At the time of the Revolution in 1911-2 nel doubt, many Szechuan men got out of their bargains, but then" the Shanghai buyers largely did the same with the foreign impor. ters, thus it did not matter! On the present occasion wever, most of the goods have been paid
