supplies of American makes and s me English Drills, while Chefoo and Ningpo continue to take certain classes of goods in their usual quiet way. Hankow and Sze-huen markets are at present suffering from floods and financial difficulties, so much cannot be expected of them. Locally busi. ness is not good, holders of goods finding much difficulty in getting clearance.

JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG October 21st-Business gener- ally during the week has been quiet with a tendency to declining rates and I have nothing of any importance to report.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have continued quiet and neglected with a few very small cash sales at 190 and 189 per cent. prem.; on time I have heard of no business. The latest London quotation is £42. Market closes weak with sellers at 189 and probably at 188 per cent. prem. Nationals have changed hands at $25 and $26, closing steady at the latter rate.
MARINE INSURANCES.-China Traders have found small buyers at $76, Unions at $235, Cantons at $190 cum div., and Yangtzes and North Chinas at quotations. Straits have ruled quiet with small sales and sellers at $27).
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have found small buyers at $341, but sellers at that rate rule the market and at time of closing shares are obtainable at $310. Chinas have been enquired for and have changed hands in small lots at $97; more shares could be placed at the rate.
SHIPPING-Hongkong, Canton, and Macaos have ruled steady at $331 to $334, with sales at both rates for cash and at $344 for January; at time of writing market is steady at $331 to $334. Indo-Chinas have continued dull and beyond a few sales at $43 and $44 cash, and at $44) for 28th February, I have nothing to report. Douglases have also ruled very quiet with only small sales, although shares have been on offer at $55. China and Manilas have con- tinned on offer at $70 and small sales have been effected at that rate. A lot of China Mutuals ordinary £5 paid up shares was placed at £2, but as this was a forced sale it cannot be taken as a ruling rate.
REFINERIES.— -China Sugars again recover- ed in the early part of the week to $140, after
nued very firm with buyers and no sellers at $6.
LANDS, HOTELS, AND BUILDINGS All stocks" under this heading have ruled quiet, with only. small sales at quotations, and close steady.
MISCELLANEOUS.-Tramways have improved to $98 with buyers and no sellers, Ices to $108 with sales, and Ropes to $130. Green Islands have changed hands at $174 and Ewos are enquired for at Tls. 82. Fenwicks have found small buyers at $29).
