SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have been the medium of a fair business at $334 cash, 834 for June. $341 for July, and $344 for August; a few cash shares are still on offer at $331, and the market looks like remaining steady at that rate for the present. Douglases have agains declined with sales at $53; at this rate, however, there are buyers and no sellers. Indo-Chinas have changed hands, chiefly to the North, at $65 and $66 cash, and at equivalent rates for June, July, and August; the weakness caused by the Newchwang Onwo collision does not appear to have yet passed off and the market closes quiet at quo- tation. China and Manilas have changed hands in small lots at $671, and close firm at the rate. China Mutual Preferences have been done at £8 58. Od.; Ordinaries continue offering at quotations without finding buyers.
REFINERIES-China Sugars are enquired for in a small way at $115. Luzons are enquired for at $60, but shares are not forthcoming at that rate, notwithstanding the fact that shares offered at $62 last week, as mentioned in our last report, could not find bayers.
