Rumours or orders being booked for Redcar Pig Iron, Scotch Nailrode, and some other items lack confirmation and will be reported on by next mail.

JOINT STOCK SHARES, HONGKONG, 16th January.-The chief feature of the market in the week under review is the hardening of rates in nearly all the chief stocks and the more healthy tone of the market. Busi ness has been brisk and a fair number of shares have changed hands in the leading stocks. The market again.oloses with an upward tendency.
BANKS Hongkong and Shanghais have fur. ther boomed to 125 per cent. prem.; with sales at 115, 118, 120, 121, 1:3, and 125 per cent. prem ; market closes steady, but shares can be obtained at the latter rate. Other Bank stock continues neglected.
MARINE INSURANCES.-China Traders have con inued in demand and sales have been effected at $60, buyers ruling the market at that rate. We have no business to report in other Marine stock, but Unions are in demand at-$126 with- out finding sellers.
Green Islands have jumped to 86 with sales, bat sellers at that rate or at even at a point lower rule the market. Watsons continue werk without sales at $9.75, but shares donld be placed at $9.50. H.
