The following is the list of locali Hongkong Government, share quotations issued to-day - Jazette publishes the text of a cir ular which the Marconi Inter- ational Maritime Communication ompany has issued to its operators. In connection therewith, the irector of the Hongkong Observa- bry states that shipmasters are arnestly requested to co-operate in he forecasting and storm warning)

"The accuracy and utility of the bservatory forecasts will increase

"It requested that mercurial crometers should be itsed whenever; ible, and that owners should co berate by supplying their ships | th at least one good mereurial, rometer, of the Board of Trade ttern. Very few aneroid barn- eters are satisfactory, Generally eaking, the index error varies nsiderably from time to time, and seldom constant throughout the

le. Moreover their readings are ually affected by changes of tem- ralure though they are supposed be compensated in this respect. every case the readings should followed by the word 'Mercury' a mercurial barometer is read,] 'Aneroid if an aneroid is read.) It is very important that a fewf adings (at least four) of the baro- eter used for the wireless mes- gea should be taken in Hongkong d forwarded to the Observatory,! r comparison with the Observa- ry Standard. It is also very! aportant that the readings in the

d messages should be exartly as ad off, without any correction hatever, except in the case of ips which have not sent compari- observations to the Observá- ry. Such ships should correct the adings of mercurial barometers index error, and reduce them to Fahrenheit, sea level, an: avity at 45 latitude; using the, st index error available andj ling the word 'corrected. If an eroid barometer is used and no, mparison observations have beenf at to the Observatory, the read-i s should be corrected for index; Tor and reduced to sea level."
