JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 25th May-A fair business, chiefly in mining stock, has been negotiated during the week. Rates have ruled from steady to weak in the general stocks and firm in mining.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have ruled much quieter and only small cash sales have been effected at 1844 per cent, prom., whilst shares at equivalent rates forward cannot find buyers. Nationals have changed hands at $214 and more could probably be placed at the rate. Bank of Chinas neglected.
MARINE INSURANCES.-North Chinas have been done at Tls. 185, Yangtszes at $154 and $158, Traders at $77 and a few Unions at $230 and $227). Other stocks under this heading continue neglected and quiet.
FICE INSURANCES.-Hongkong Fires have ruled steady with small sales at $352). China Fires continue on offer at $101 without finding buyers, and at time of closing sales are reported at $100.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos remain quiet with small sales at $35 and $35, closing at the lattor rate. Indo-Chinas have remained steady at $54 to $514 with but little business. Douglases have ruled weaker at $65 to $65, without business, sellers ruling the market at time of closing. China Manilas have changed hands in small lots at $73, and close firm. China Mutuals unchanged and without business.
REFINERIES.--China Sugars have been negotiated to a limited extent at $142 and $143 for cash and at much higher' than equivalent rates forward, viz., at $147 for July and August; the market closes firm at $143. Luzons continue neglected and more or less out of the market.
MINING. The chief business of the week has been under this heading, to the detriment of that in general stocks. In fact the greater portion of operators appear to be inclined to devote their attention entirely to Mines and to have lost all interest in the sounder but less alluring local enterprises, a feature in our market of late which from an economic point of view is generally considered to be undesirable. Punjoms have again been in fair demand and have been negotiated in fair lots at $7 to $73, closing with buyers at latter rate. Charbonnages have again changed hands at $100, but shares are still obtainable at that rate. New Balmorals have advanced con». siderably and have changed hands as high as $2.60 for preferences and $2.25 for ordinaries, Jelebus have closing at $2.60 and $2.20, improved to $2.25 with small sales and further buyers. Raubs have continued in steady demand and sales have been effected at $22, $221, $23, $231), $24, and $24, closing with buyers both for cash and forward. The latest report from the mine may be seen in our local Olivers have con- papers of the 24th inst. tinued booming. A's have changed hands at gradually improving rates to $24. whilst B's have found many buyers up to $10.25.
DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS.-There is but little to report under this heading. Hongkong and Whampoa Docks have found Wharves gmall buyers at 244 per cent. prem. have been out of favour, but at time of plosing are enquired for at quotations. Wan- chais are enquired for at $434 without inducing holders to part.
LANDS, HOTELS, AND BUILDINGS.-Hong- kong Lands have ruled much easier with sales at $783, and $78 would in all probability bring out shares. Hotels have found further small buyers at $41 and $42. Humphreys and West Points remain unchanged without business.
MISCELLANEOUS. Green Islands after further fairly large sales at $39 and $40 have again declined to $38. It was decided at the private meeting on the 20th to offer 20,000 new shares to shareholders at 100 per cent. pram. and 10,000 new shares at the same rate to certain other Capitalists who desire to be interested in the Company. With the excep tion of an improvement in Ropes to $167, and a farther all round rise in Cotton Mills, there is nothing more to report under this heading.
HONGKONG, 28th May.-No special features
