MANILA, 6th January (from Messrs. W. A' Fitton & Co.'s Report). Since isane of our last circular, we have to report an extremely quiet share market, and transactions reported have been of a trifling nature. We understand that Tobacco Trust, Oriente Hotel, and Banco Espanol Filipino stock has changed hands. Demand for all stock dead and likely to continue so until such time as better facilities for financing are offered. New Tobacco Co.- Stock of Maria Cristina, referred to in our last circular, was all taken up; shares can be purchased at par and the investment looks a good one. General.There is little or no anima- tion in our market nor promise of any in the inmediato future. We look for a continuance of existing dullness for some time to come. There are many opportunities for purchase of paying investments, but want of facilities for obtaining loans on a moderate margin are adly lacking; good and sound stock goes a-begging, and the necessity of a Loan and Mortgage Co. with ample capital is felt more each day. Such a concern would do a very paying business.
