SHARE REPORT. HONGKONG, 13th January, 1905.-The con- tioned tightness of money, and the near ap- proach of China New Year, is still exercising a depressing effect on the general condition of our market, and though a better feeling is per- haps noticeable in regard to some of our best dividend paying stocks, we fear but little material improvement can be looked for until the present financial strengency is relieved.
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais under a forced sale have been disposed of at $700, but close firmer with buyers at 8705. The latest London quotation to hand is £71, 5s. Od.
