JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 25th February.-A fair business has been transacted during the week under review, generally at gradually increasing rates, the market closing steady to firm.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais up to the 23rd ruled very quiet and neglected, a few small lots at 173 per cent. prom cash and at 175 and 176 for March constituting the entire business; later, however, rumours of a big loan suddenly hardened the market and 175 cash was freely offered without bringing out any shares ; the rate farther strengthened to 182 per cent. prem., after some small sales at 176 and 178; at the close shares both cash and time are still in demand with very few sellers. Nationals upon the issue of an unexpectedly bad report have ruled very weak at$17 with sellers and no buyers. MARINE INSURANCES.-China Traders, Can- tons, and Straits continue on offer at unchanged rates without business, also Yangtszes. Unions are enquired for at $2224 to $225. North Chinas have changed hands in small lots at Tls. 198.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Remain very quiet with sellers and no sales of Hongkongs at $3724 and small sales of Chinas at $107, both closing quiet.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have changed hands to a fair extent at $264 and $26 cash and at $27 for March and $271 for April, closing steady to firm at $26). Indo-Chinas continue on offer at $55 without leading to business. Douglases have ruled firm at $581 with small sales. China Manilas could be placed at $179, but no shares appear to be forthcoming. China Mutuals are enquired for at quotations.
i
REFINERIES-China Sugars have further improved their position to $173 after fair sales at $172 and $173 for cash and at $174, $175, and $176 for March and $176 and 8178 for April, the market closing steady at $1734.
