CLOSING QUOTATIONS.

TUESDAY, 30th March. EXCHANGE.

BANES-Hongkong and Shanghais have remained very quiet with small sales at 165 per cent. prem; buyers, however, at time of writing are not plentiful and it is doubtful whether any more could be placed at the same rate; no time, transactions have been reported and the market closes quiet, the London rate remaining at £39 Nationals and Bank of Chinas have been on offer at quotations without leading to business.

MARINE INSURANCE.—The market has been dull and beyond a few local sales of China Traders at $79 and $79), Unions at $235, and Straits at $19 and $194, there is nothing to report. In the North, Yangstzes and North Chinas have changed hands at quota tions.

FIRE INSURANCE.-Have ruled very quiet, with small sales of China Fires at $102, and of Hongkongk at $360, both stocks closing quiet with sellers at quotations.

SHIPPING. All stocks, have ruled quiet to dull with not much business. Hongkong, Can- ton and Macaos found buyers at $341 and close with further sellers at that rate, Dong lases appear to have dropped out of the market, sellers vainly offering to part at $60 without finding buyers. Indo-Chinas after ruling quiet for the early part of the week at $46 with sales, gradually improved to $47, at which rate a fair number changed hands. China Manilas and China Mutuals continue neglected. The latter Company has declared a final dividend of 3 per cent. on preference and 6 per cent. on ordinary shares payable to-morrow.

REFINERIES.-China Sugars have changed hands in fair lots at $141 cum, div., and at $135 ex div. for cash, the market closing weakish with sellers for cash and forward at equivalent rates. Luzons have found small buyers and could probably be placed further at $40 and $41, whilst sales for June at $43 are reported. The chairman's speeches at the yearly meeting of both Companies as reported in the local papers of the 27th instant will prove of interest to shareholders.
