JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 20th July. The market has continued dull and there is but little business of any importance to report. Rates have in most cases declined or show weakness, and the market closes quiet.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais.-Not- withstanding the publication of the excellent result of the last six months' working, viz., 25s. dividend. $500,000 to reserve, and $300,000 carried forward, the market has continued quiet and shows no improvement in rates. A few lots have changed hands at 188 per cent. prem. for cash, but more shares are probably obtain- able at that rate and at équivalent rates on time.
Nationals are still enquired for without leading to business. Bank of Chinas neglected.
MARINE INSURANCE.-China Traders have been in demand at $77, but holders will not part at that rate. Unions have changed hands at quotations, and Cantons have continued on offer at $180 without finding buyers. Straits remain unchanged with little or no business. The Northern Insurances have changed hands in the North at quotations.
FIRE INSURANCE.-The market has ruled steady, with small sales of Hongkongs at $360 and of Chinas at $107.
SHIPPING. A dull market with but little business, Hongkong, Canton and Macaos continue dull and neglected notwithstanding the near approach of the dividend of (probably)
Indo-Chinas have $1.20 per share. negotiated in small lots at $51 and $52, closing with sellers at $50. China Manilas, Dong- lases, and Mutuals close steady at quotations without business.

REFINERIES.-China Sugars have continued quiet and after further sales at $146 were done at $145, the market closing quiet in view of of heavy settlements on the 31st instant, Luzons changed hands at $47 (presumably a forced sale), but more shares could be placed at the rate and none seem to be forthcoming.
MINING.-Paajom again fell in the early part of the week and sales were effected at $8, $7.75, $7.50, and $7.25; towards the end, however, a firmer feeling set in and a fair demand springing up shares changed hands in fair lots at $7.50 and $7.75, the market closing steady at the latter rate. Nothing definite is yet known about the progress of negotiations with the American Syndicate, but it is believed the Directors have a cut and dried scheme to place before shareholders to which they are favourably inclined. New Balmorals have been weak and have change hands in small lots at $1.90 and $2 for ordinary and preferences. In Jelebus a small business has been put through at quotations. Raubs.-With a regular bombard- ment of shares from Singapore brought on by tightness of money and the consequent in- ability of speculators to take up their pur- chases, the market has ruled weak and declining; a fair number of shares changed hands at $26 | and $25 and sales are reported at $24 at time of closing, the market closing quiet with not much chance of improving until after our settlements on the 31st, when a good many shares at high rates will have to be arranged for. but a fair business has been done in B's at Olivers A have continued quiet and neglected, $6.25, $6.10, and $6, the market closing quiet. The latest news from the mine, whilst reporting a further small crushing of 150 tons yielding oz., states that the mine is now steadily paying its way and that no funds have been needed from Hongkong since the first crushing in March.
DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks have continued quiet and almost without business at 240 to 241 per cent premium, closing quiet. Kowloon Wharves remain quiet with small sales at $663. Wan- chais without business
LANDS, HOTELS, AND BUILDINGS.-Hong kong Lands have been on offer all the week at Kowloon $77, without leading to business. Lauds steady at quotations but without sales. Hotels have been on offer at $50 without inducing further buyers to come forward. West Points and Humphreys have ruled steady with a small business at quotations.
CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
