JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 15th June. A fair general business has been transacted during the week under review at steady rates, except in Docks and Lands, which show a rise, and in Banks, which have declined.

BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghai Banks in the early part of the week ruled very steady and changed hands in fair lots at 318 per cent. premium.

SHIPPING.-Hongkong Canton and Macaos changed hands in the early part of the week at $314, 8314 and $313, but close easier with sellers at $31z.
