at varying rates. The market commenced firm at Tls, 911, 921 for December, and 94 March. The Settlement, however, seems to have affected this stock to some extent, and cash shares were let go at Tls. 90 and 89, bringing out sellers at 90 for December. A reaction took place two days ago, when large orders from the South cleared the market of the cheaper shares, leaving our closing quotation at Tls, 91 December, and 93 March. There is no news of any interim dividend, which we do not expect to be declared. Docks and Wharves.-8. C. Farnham, Boyd & Co, Ld. Our market has gradually declined, and this in spite of a telegram received by the Head Office to the effect that negotiations pending for the sale of the property were progressing satisfactorily. A little unceasiness is felt in some quarters over the following extract from the telegram. "More time is required to enable the promoters to get the necessary capital fully subscribed." The maket rates have declined from Tis. 181 December to 177, at which rate there are sellers at the close. Shares have been dealt in for January at Tls. 181, 180, 179, 178, and for March 183, 1821. The market, however, is very weak allround at these rates. Shanghai and Hongkew Wharves.-A considerable number of shares have changed hands at Tls. 164 and 164 Transac- cum now issue for December delivery. tions are reported for March at Tis. 1421 for the old, and 140 for new shares, also Tls. 163 c.n.i. Sugars. China Sugars are quoted at $236 buyers in Hongkong. Mining --Weihaiwei Golds.--

Cash shares have been dealt in at $23. Lands.--- A small lot of Lands were sold at Tls 115, hut the market closes with buyers at Tls. 117, and sellers at Tls. 118. Shanghui Ice Co. A sale is reported at Tls. Industrial. - Ewo Cot'ons. These are reported at Tls, 25 cash. Shanghai Gas Shares are in demand at TIs. 104 with no sellers 174. and there are buyers at this figure. China Flours.-No business reported this week, but there are buyers at Tls. 72. Shanghai Pulps have changed hands at Tls. 170 for January. Langkats. The cash rate remained steady at Tls. 295 with sales at Tls. 310 for February, and March at Tls 3121 and 310 and 315 April. There is nothing fresh to report. Stores and Hotels.-- Astor House shares have heen dealt in at $27. Central Stores have sellers for every class of share. Miscellaneous. Shanghai Horse Bazaars are reported at Tls. 93 and have sellors at this price. Operations have been made in Telephones at Tls. 68 cash, and Tls. 70 January delivery.
