Balmorals are neglected with small sales at $5.80 and no business of any importance to report. Charbonnages are on offer in small lots at $120, without finding buyers.
MISCELLANEOUS.-Hongkong and. Whampoa Docks continuing in good demand, the raté rose with sales at 103 and 104 to 105 per cout, prem,. at which rate market closes steady. It is ru moured that the Admiralty is negotiating with the Company for the construction of one or two new Docks capable of accommodating the largest war-ship afloat on more favourable terms than those on which the last "Admiralty Dock" was built. Lands have maintained the firmness reported in our last, and more shares bave changed hands at 8604 and $61, market closing steady, Kowloon Godowns hare found buyers in fair quantities at $10, Watsons have changed hands at $9.75 and $10, Green Islands at $10, lees at $84, and Electrics at $5.50. Ropes have ruled firm and after sales at $130 could probably be placed at $1324. Tramways are enquired for in a small way at qutations, but none seem forthcoming. Fenwicks could bo placed at $15.
Closing quotations are as follow.
