$75 and $724, closing with bayers at latter rate. Raubs have improved to $4. Balmorals con- tinue neglected and weak at quotation.
DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks ruled weak in the early part of the week and sales were effected as low as 146 per cent. prem.; later, however, the market improved and buyers at 147 and 148 could not be satisfied. Some sales have been affected at 149 and market closes steady with an upward tendency at that rate. We have solid grounds for stating that it is the present intention of the directors to deal with the $500,000 available for distribution, subject to audit, as follows, viz., to pay a dividend of 12 per cent. to shareholders, to place $200,000 to an equalization dividend fund, to pay about $20,000 to contributing shareholders, a bonus of 10 per cent. of annual salaries to the employés, and to carry forward about $60,000 to the new account. Hongkong and Kowloon Wharfa have ruled dull, and sales at 8484, $48, and 847) have been effected. Wanchai Godowns continue neglected and unchanged.
LANDS. HOTELS, AND BUILDINGS.--Lands have found further buyers at 870, but more shares are obtainable at the rate. Hotels have changed hands at 819 and close in demand. West Points remain unchanged and neglected. MISCELLANEOUS.-Watsons have receded to 811.50 without sales, Electrics have changed hands at $6.75, Fenwicks at 820, and Ices at 3101. Other stocks under this heading have ruled neglected and we have nothing to report
in them.

SHANGHAI, 17th January (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-Our freight raarket, umewards, presents a very dull appearance, as is usual at this time of year, and no improvement can be looked for till the close of the Chinese New Year festivities, when it is anticipated business will look up consi- derably, both for home-going steamers and coasters generally. It is true that the last departure for new year obtained good support here, but it was composed, to a great extent, of cargo for which no sail tonnage could be found, and which was carried at no very lucrative rate, viz: 30s. for tea. Since then rates all round have been lowered for direct steamer to › New York, and 30s. per 40 cubic feet for tea and general cargo can be relied upon for the next three steamers. For London riá Suez.- Business in this direction is almost lifeless, the amount of tamare offering being far in excess of shippers' requirements. For New York với Cape.--The saling vessel Daniel Barnes is chartered to load at Hongkong, for end of February sailing, her rate from Lere Leing 268. through. Rates of freight are:-From Shanghai to London by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s; waste silk 45s.; tea 50s.; Northern Continental poris, peneral cargo 428. 61.; waste silk 45s.: tea 50s.; New York, general cargo 30s; tea 30s.; New York id London, general cargo ; ten 50%.; Piston, general cargo 32s. 6d.; Philadelphis, pe cral cargo 409. Above rates are subject to a decred return, as per Conference circular. London by Shell Line, gencral cargo 40s. less 10 per cent.; Hamburg, general cargo 35s. net; New York, general cargo 40s. less 10
