SHARE REPORTS,

HONGKONG, 5th May, 1905.-The market continues dull, with no special features to report. Rates, however, are well maintained and in many caɛes show improvements.

BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais remain unchanged, with small sales at $795; market closes steady to strong. The London rate re- mains unchanged. Nationals are still enquired for at $37, but shares are scarce and we have no business to report.

MARINE INSURANCES-Unions have changed hands at $700. Small lots of China Traders could be placed at $564, but none seem available. Cantons continue firm, but without business. North Chinas and Yangtazes, no business to report.

FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkougs and Chinas continue dull, with sales of the former at the reduced rate of $3023.

SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macao8 have again been placed at $26; and a few more are wanted at that rate. Indo-Chinas recovered a little during the week and sales were made at $123 and later at $122, closing with buyers at the latter rate. A few forward sales at rather higher than equivalent rates have, however, been put through chiefly for July and August a $127 and $128; market closes steady. Tht London rate remains at £11. 158. Od. Douglase® remain unchanged and without sales at $3448 Star Ferries have changed hands at $37 for old, closing steady at that. Shells and China Manilas continue neglected and without business, but the rate for the former has risen to 228,

REFINERIES.-China Sugars improved im- mediately after the settlements, and with a small demand the rate gradually rose to $225 for cash (a small sale was reported at $226). On time a fair number of shares changed hands af higher than equivalent rates, forward sellers being somewhat shy of selling in face of the reported large earnings and good prospects of the Com- pany. At time of writing the market is again somewhat easier at $225. Luzons are still enquired for at $27 without bringing any shares

on the market.

MINING. No change or business to report. DOCKS, WHArves, and GoDOWNS.-Hong. kong and Whampoa Docks have ruled steady, with small sales at $205 and $204 for cash, and at equivalent rates forward; market closes with sellers at the former rate.
