JOINT STOCK SHARES, HONGKONG, March 16th. The quietness reported in last has continued, and there is no business of any importance to report. Rates have continued to rule weak although in many cases they have steadied somewhat and in some show a slight improvement.
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais. After further small sales at 171; the rate dropped to 167, with sales at that and at 168, the fall being caused chiefly by a drop in the London rate to £89:10; at 167, however, shares are wanted and none seem to be obtainable Nationals have changed hands and are enquired for at quotation...
MARINE INSURANCE.—The market has ruled quiet, the chief feature being a slump in Straits, which, after fair sales at $275 to $26, suddenly, on news of the unfavourable report, fell to $22 without finding buyers; on time shares changed hands at $26 for June and later at $221 for the same date, the stock closing weak at quota tions. The particulars of the report wired to the local Secretary are as follows, dividend of 5 per cent, the withdrawal of $180,000 from reserves, and $585,000 brought forward, a very poor result in comparison with previous reports, caused chiefly it is understood by the loss of sums which had been re-insured with Unions, Cantons, and China Traders have a London Syndicate that has recently failed. all been negotiated in small lots at quota- tions and close steady. Yangtazes and North Chinas have found buyers in the North. FIRE INSURANCE. The market has continued quiet with small sales of Hongkongs at $370, and Chinas offering pretty freely at $108 and $107, without leading to any but a small business.
SHIPPING:Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have ruled easier with sales at $344 and reported ones at $344, whilst a small demand forward at equivalent rates remains unsatisfied. Indo. China have also remained quiet, shares having been on offer for the week at $47 with only small sales. China and Manilas continue steady at quotation with small sales. Douglases, not- withstanding that the Company has declared an interim dividend of $2 (4 per cent.) per share, have ruled very quiet with but little business, and although the rate hardeneda little immediately after the declaration of the dividend to $62, after small sales at $63, the market closes quiet at quotation. China Mutuals continue unchanged without business.
REFINERIES-China Sugars have failed to improve their position, sales having been effected at $141 and $140, the market closing quiet at latter rate. Luxons continue out of the market with sellers at quotation.
MINING-On the report that Punjoms required some $80,000 more capital to be able to carry-on, the stock still farther declined and sales were effected as low as $4.50; later, however, & better feeling set in and shares came into some demand and sales were effected at $5, $51, and $56, the market closing steady at $5. Raubs have ruled rather quieter with small lots offering at $16 and $151; the last crushing of 1,834 oz, from 2,250 tons of quartz, showing as it does about 163 dwt., is considered very satisfactory. Olivers A and B have been largely dealt in aturates varying from $13 and $7 to $11 and 86.
