SHANGHAI, 26th December.-(From Mr. Geo. W. Noel's report.)-There is very little to advise respecting the state of the market this week broken into as it has been by the holidays cus- tomary at this festive season. The startling telegrams received early in the interval in con- ucction with the Venezuelan dispute caused a certain amunt of unea y feeling in business circles, otherwise no effects of the s rious finan. cial pauic reported to be prevailing in consequence bare beca felt here. The actual amount done

JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 31st December.-The Christmas and approaching New Year holidays have interfered with business and we have nothing of any importance to report. Rates continue to be well maintained and with the pretty generally good results for the year ending to day anticipated by our local Companies, they are likely to continue at least steady if not to improve.

BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have ruled unchanged at 181 per cent prem. for cash. A few small lots have been placed at that rate and some further small parcels are wanted; · larger lots, however, are obtainable at quotation. Sales are reported at 187 per cent, prem. for February and at 190 per cent. prem, for March. Nationals have been neglected."

MARINE INSURANCES.-Beyond small sales of Unions at $197 and $200 we have nothing to report.

FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs continue their upward course, and sales have been effected at $267, $270, and a reported one at $272); they close firm and higher rates may be looked for. Chinas have changed hands at $884 and 889, closing with buyers at latter rate.

SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos after ruling steady all the week eased up over settlements, and sales were effected at $37 and $374, market closing steady at latter rate. Dou glases have changed hands at $53 and China & Manilas at $70, both closing quiet at the rates. Indo-Chinas have changed hands at $58, but more shares are obtainable at that rate.]

REFINERIES have ruled totally neglected. MINING.-Panjoms have changed hands at $5. Balmorals have declined without sales to $1. We have nothing else to report under this heading.

+

DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS.--Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks have further improved their position to 149 per cent. prem. with sales at that and at 152 and 153 per cent. prem. for January. Market closes steady with an upward tendency. It seems to be an open secret that the Company will have some $500,000 for division, the result of the last half year's working, including amount brought forward. Wharfs have ruled "quiet and close weak at $49. Godowns continue neglected.
