SHARE REPORTS.
HONGKONG, 30th June, 1905. The prevail- ing feature of the market continues to be a tendency to further weakness, and with a very few exceptions, we have to quote lower rates when any changes have been made. The settle. ments yesterday were put through, but brought ont several defaulters, whose losses had to be borne in some cases by their brokers, and in others by their principals. On the whole it can only be termed an unsatisfactory settlement, although it is likely to clear the air to some extent.
BANES.-Hongkong and Shanghais have fur- ther improved to $820 without any sales to report, the rate rose quickly and the market clos s with buyers and no sellers, the bigher rate not tempting holders to pert. Nationals remain unchanged and without business.
MARINE INSURANCES.--Unions have ruled steady with small sales at $695, closing with probable small sellers at that rate. Cantona continue in request at $317 without sales. China Traders have further improved and have been placed as high as $75, the maritet closing steady at that rate. Yangtszes and North Chinas remain unchanged and without business. FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have been placed at $302, while Chinas continue without sales at $87.
SHIPPING, Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have again changed hands at $27, but close with sellers at that rate. Indos under settlement influences have suffered a further decline and
gales have been effected during the week at $97 and $96, market closing steady at the latter rate,
REFINERIB.-China Sugars remain more or less neglected with a few shares obtainable at $214. Luzons have ruled quiet with sellers and no sales to report.
MINING.Raubs have been placed at $6 and more are wanted at that rate. Charbonnages au- changed and without busines:.
LOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWNS. -Hong. kong and Whampoa Docks have somewhat recovered, sal.s having been made at $192), 8193 aud $194 closing with further buyers at the last rate. Kowloon Wharves have steadied up a bit and shares on offer last week at $95 have been withdrawn, while a small demand at that rate remains unsatisfied at time of closing.
Farnhams have further declired to Tls, 140 ex div., but close with buyers in Shangbai st that rate. Amor Deeks unchauged and withou! business.
