JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, lat July.-Business has been fairly active during the week under review, although towards its close the approach of settling day and offers from the outports to sell most stocks have caused a few slack days. The June settlements (the heaviest for many years) were arranged satisfactorily, few, if any, shares having been thrown on the market; this has had the effect of strengthening the market, which closes steady generally.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais remain unchanged with little or no business. A few ......$64.00 to $92.50 small lots pressed on our market from the north elicited such low offers that no business resulted. Nationals continue neglected with sellers at quotation.
