Fo8 For
HONGKONG, 21st July, 1905. With the exception of a further rise in Banks, Unions and Lands, the market has been featureless, and the stagnation in general lusiness has been Time business is eren more pronounced. practically at a standstill, and until s mething is done to restore confidence in both principals and brokers it is likely to remain so.
Іп оде sense it is possibly as well that time speculation has ceased pro tem. It will give several stocks, which have be a unduly depressed by the settlement bogey" for many months, a chance of rising to their natural level in the market. and go a long way towards steadying things all ronnd. At the same time it must be remembered that a good wholesome forward is a good incentive to cash business, and preven's a market, otherwise dependent entirely on invest- ment business, from stagnating.
BANES.-Hongkong and Shanghais. A small bat persistent demand, with practic ly no supply, has further advanced rates to $915, and we believe that with the exception of a small sale at $900 no shares have changed bands at rales between last week's (8890) and the present The absorbing process of closing one i.e. §915. home investors sppears to be getting even more pronounced than when we brought it to notics a few months ago, and everything points to the stock eventually reaching a rate which will be based on a return of 5 per cent. or even 4 per cent. Nationals remain auchanged and without business.
MARINE INSURANCES.--Unions have chang ed hands in fair lots at $705, but towards the end of the week a sudden demand sent the ra'e up to $720, after small sales at $710. At time of writing shares cou'd be placed at quotation. China Traders have ruled easier, sellers ruling the market during the week and buyers proving a little shy. At the meeting of shareholders, held on the 17th inst.. it was resolved to get the offer of the Union Insurance Society renewd if possible, and to lay it before share- holders both here and elsewhere, to decide as to its acceptance or rejection. The market closes with sellers at $744 and no business to report, Cautons have been placed at $325 and close with sellers. North Chinas and Yangtszes remain unchanged and without business,
FIRE INSURANCES.-Both Hongkongs and Chinas have been on offer during the week at quotations without inducing buyers to com forward.
SHIPPING.-Douglases bave receded to 835, and Star Ferries to $28 and $26, and with the exception of a few sales of Indes in the early Tart of the work at $94 and 893 and later at 8921 we have no business to report.
KLFINERIES-China Sugars have changed hands at $213 for August and at $211 for cash; the market has ruled a little stea lier and closes with cash buyers at $210. Luzons have declined to $29 without business.
MINING Charbonnages unchanged. Raubs have declined to 86 with sellers on receipt of the news that the Government had ceased to assist in the cost of sinking the deep level shaft. DOCKS, WHARVES, AND GODOWN8,-Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks bave improved to 3198 with but a small business, and Kowloon Wharces have advanced to 8971 buyers; the latter company has declared ад interim dividend of $24 per share.
