sellers at the close. Docks and Wharves.-S. C. Farnham, Boyd & Co., Ld., shares. There has been such a very large business done at such very diversified rates that we have no space to go over in detail the week's record. To be brief our market opened with sales at Tls. 169 and 168 December, 174 and 172 March. These rates were fairly maintained on the average until the divid- end was declared yesterday. On the report that Tls. 5 was to be paid on the 6th January,
the
market immediately dropped to Tls. 164 for Decem- her, to be followed immediately afterwards by a further drop to Tis. 160; for January 162 and for March 166 were recorded. We have only to say that at the close the market was extremely weak and we look for lower rates; in fact we hear of unreported transactions at Tls. 160 January. Shanghai and Hongkew Wharves, These have sustained a fall from Tls 153 c.n.i. to Tls. 150 for December. The forward market has a weak tendency and we do not think a better price for March could be obtained than the present cash rate. Sugar. China Sugars, are quoted in the South at $225 sales. Luzons. We have no market here for this stock; in Hongkong shares are now quoted at $17 sellers. Mining.-Weihaiwei Golds. The funds required for immediate expenses were raised at the informal meeting referred to in our last, and shares which at one time were done at 88, quickly rose to $12 without business, on the laths On the 16th shares changed hands at $17, on the 19th at $171 was reported, and at this rate shares are quiet, there is no special demand. Lands.- Shanghai Lands. There are small buyers in the
market at Tls. 117. Industrial.-Cottons.-Ewo Cotton shares have been placed at Tls 25. Inter- national Cottons have also been done at Tls. 25.

Messrs. J. P. Bisset & Co.'s Share Report for] the week ending 22nd December, 1901, states:- Since our last there has been a very large business | transacted, almost entirely adjusting accounts for the half yearly Fettlements on the 29th. The principal feature to report has been a very large decline in S. C. Farnham, Boyd & Co, shares, not I by any means relieved by the announcement of a Tis. 5 interin dividend for the half-year ending 31st October to be paid on the 6th January. Such | a speedy decline has disorganised our market and makes it very difficult for us to return the actual ON business done during the week A fair business has been done in Indo-Chinas also, which remaini
