the Mines, and there is every probability of the transfer being made. [P.S.-We learn that the Anglo-Australian Co.'s expert has reported favourably on the Balmoral and Oliver pro- perties, and that the Anglo-Australian Co. will pay all expenses from date; under these cir- cumstances the transfer of the properties may be looked upon as un faït accompli.]
DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks have changed hands at 1834 per cent. prem. for cash, at 185 for end of the month, and at 191 and 190 per cent. prem. for August; market closes with sellers at 184 for 30th inst.. and at 191 per cent. prem. for 'JOINT STOCK SHARES.
August. Kowloon Wharves have ruled in good HONGKONG, 9th June. The market has been demand, and a fair number of shares have a little more lively and business more brisk changed hands at $48, $49, $50, and $51 for during the week under review. Rates general-cash, and at $52 for July, closing with sellers ly, with few exceptions, have ruled from steady at the latter rate. Wanchais, no business to to firm and the market closes steady at quota- report. tions.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have continued quiet at 185 and 185 per cent. prem. with little or no business, and this notwith- standing a rise of fl in the value of the stock in London, the last rate by wire (private advices) being £42 10s. buyers. At time of writing a small demand from the North seems likely to raise the market a point or two. On time we have heard of no transactions. Na- tionals continue steady at $29 with small sales.
MARINE INSURANCES.-China Traders have been on offer during the week at $79 without finding buyers. Cantons have changed hands, after a long period of neglect, at $200 and $197 at which latter there are buyers, but more shares are on offer at the former rate. Unions have further improved to 8227 with sales. Yangtszes and North-Chinas continue weak at quotations; in the former shares are on offer at $140, but we have heard of no sales. Straits are still enquired for at $29, but sellers refuse to part under $29. at which rate a limited number of shares only are obtainable.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have ro- mained at $335, without sales, and close with sellers. Chinas, chiefly owing to a demand from the North, assisted by a few local orders, have been in request and as no shares were obtainable under $94, transactions were effected at that rate and more shares are wanted.
At time of
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have been again dealt in pretty freely at 834 for small and at $34 for fair lots. writing shares are offering at $341. Indo- Chinas with a regular bombardment of shares from Shanghai have ruled weak with sales at $69, $68, $67, and a small local sale was effected at $66; market closes quiet at $66 with sellers; we are informed that div. warrants of 16s. per share, left home by the mail of the 5th inst. Douglases continue to improve and a good many shares have changed hands at $61, $62, $63. $631, and $64 for cash, and at $63, 863, and $64 for September. Several coast orders have been filled at these rates. Other Shipping stocks have ruled neglected.
REFINERIES.-China Sugars are obtainable at $118, but we have heard of no business. Luzons have advanced a point to $63 with sales, and clase firm at that rate.
LANDS, HOTELS, AND BUILDINGS.-Hong- kong Lands have ruled quiet with small sales at $71 and $71§; shares are still wanted at former rate, but are obtainable at the latter. Hotels appear to have again gone out of the market for the present, and we have no sales to report. West Points continue neglected at quotation, and Humphreys continue on offer at $9 without finding buyers.
;
MISCELLANEOUS.—
-Green Islands, have fur- ther improved to $174, after sales at $161⁄2 and $17, and close firm with buyers at the last rate. A. S. Watsons continue out of favour with: probable sellers at $12.50. Electrics, after sales at $7, close firm with buyers at $7.25 and no sellers under $74. Sales of Ropes are reported at $122. Fenwicks have been in good demand, and a fair number have changed hands at $26, $261, $27, and $274, closing steady.

MINING. Punjoms have ruled very quiet with but few sales at $144, $15, $151, and $151. The result of the May clean up, viz., 442 oz. gold from 1,000 tons, and 75 oz. from 42 tons calcined, weakened the stock for the time being, and shares changed hands as low as $14, the market recovering afterwards to $15}. Result of the cyanide process for May is not yet to hand. Market closes at $15. Raubs- have been very quiet, and beyond a few small sales at $5.50 we have nothing to report. Bal- morals and Olivers have been in request, but with the exception of small sales of the former at $2, $3, and $31, and of Olivers at $9 and $41 we have heard of no business. At a private meeting of shareholders of the two Companies the shareholders expressed their willingness to Steamship Coys.- transfer the properties to the Anglo-Aus- tralian Co. for (Olivers) £20,000 in cash and 20,000 £1 shares in New Co. and (Balmoral) 30,000 £1 shares in. New Co. The General Managers are, we believe, endeavouring to get a little better terms for the Balmorals, and in the meantime the Anglo-Australian Co.'s-expert now in Australia will verify the reports of
