JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 16th April.—The comparative act, vity of the market reported in our recent issues, which showed some signs of waning at the date of our last, was brought to a sudden conclusion by the Easter bolidays, and we have little or no business to report. Rates, however, with few exceptions, have been maintained and notwith- standing the absence of business the market rules steady!
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have ruled very quiet and we have no business of any im. portance to report. Shares were enquired for at 175 to 177 per deit. prem., but only a few changed hands at the former rate. At time of writing shares could in all probability be placed at $180, but with the uncertainty of the issue of the pending peace negotiations, neither buyers nor sellers appear to care to make a move and 180 pericent. prem. must be considered as a more or less nominal rate.
MARINE INSURANCES-All Marines have ruled weaker, and without sales are offering at quotations.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have con- tinued in demand and buyers vainly offer $185. Chinas continue in request at $80 without find- ing sellers.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have fluctuated between $30 and $324 in sympathy with the progress of the "pool negotiations," which we believe are now definitely settled; at time of closing sales are reported at $32, Indo-Chiuns, in consequence of the sei- zure of the s.s. Yiksang, have ruled rather weaker, and no buyers have been forthcoming to take the few shares that are on offer at $461. Other Shipping stocks are neglected at quota
tions.
REFINERIES.- Both Chinas and Luzons con- tinue quite neglected at quotations,
MINING.-Punjoms have changed hands at $6.25, $6 10, and $6 during the week under rate. review, closing with buyers at latter Balmorals have further declined to $6 with sales. Raubs are reported to have been placed at $425, $4.50, and $4.75, sellers ruling the market at the latter rate. Other Mining stock has been neglected.
MISCELLANEOUS. — -Dooks have ruled weaker aud after sales at 98 and 97 are on offer at 95 per cent. premium. Lands continue in good odour and sales are reported at 857 and $58, Watsons have been dealt in in fair quantities at $9.75, $10, and $10.25, closing steady at latter rate. Bell's Asbestos have improved to $104, after sales at $9,25, $9.50, and $10. Dairy Farms have found further buyers at $6.25 and a parcel of Campbell and Moore has changed hands at $250.

TONNAGE.
| April 17, 1895. strong enquiry, but for London and New York by steam things are as dull as they possibly can be. Coastwise. From Chinkiang to Whampoa there is a very strong demand for tonnage, and several settle- ments have been made at various prices up to 21 can- dareens, the market closing firm for outsiders at 20 candareens. Cargo is plentiful for Southern coast ports, but tonnage is very scarce. From Japan to this rates are firm at quotations. From Nowchwang there are, in the event of a cessation of hostilities, very good prospects, stocks of produce being large owing to cargo boats having been of late in overn ment use, and when this means of transport from the interior is restored to the natives, we should experi- ence a lively enquiry in this direction.
SHANGHAI, 12th April.--(From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.) Business remains quiet for home- ward markets, and there is no advance to note in the amount of cargo shipped during the past fortnight, but a healthier feeling seems to exist, and should peace be arranged at an early date between China and Japan, the present dull state of affairs will surely mend, though it may be some time before business recovers from the effects of the present war. For sail tonnage to New York there has been a fairly
