HONGKONG, 28th July, 1905.-The markel. continues to rule very quiet and without elasti- city, and in the absence or comparative absence of time business, it is more than likely to remain so. Activity in such a restricted market is im- possible if it is dependent entirely on a cash business, and as the rapidly decreasing forward settlements are worked off month by month, the inactivity is likely to become more accen- luated, unless a healthy forward business is instituted.
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghai. The market has steadied during the week and for the first time for many weeks we have no material advance to raport. Smalt sales have been effected at $915 and 3917, the market closing steady at $915. Nationals remain un- changed and without business.
MARINE INSURANCES.-China Traders have ruled steady and in demand at 373; at which rate only a few shares have changed hands; at time of closing buyers at 871 rule the market aud no shares appear to be obtainable. Unions have further improved to $730 with buyers and no sales to report. Cautous remain unchauged at $325. North Chinus and Yangíszes no busi. ness to report.
FIRE INSURANCES. - Hongkong Fires, after sales at $305 in the early part of the week, suddenly rose to $315 with sales, markel closing steady at that rate. China Fires continu? weak and on offer without bnginess,
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have changed hands in small lots at $26. Indos in the early part of the week improved to $91 on a demand from Shanghai and a fair number of shares changed hands; later, however on the Shanghai demand cessing the rate fell again to $93 at which rate also a fair business was done. Market closes steady at $93. No other business under this heading to report.
REFINERIES. China Sugars have ruled erratic but with a decidedly upward tendency. In the early part of the week buyera at $211 not being satisfied, the rate steadily rose and after small sales at $215 and $216, sales were effected as high as $218 cash, at which rate buyers rule the market. For August sales are reported at $218 to $220. Luzɔns have declined to $28.
MINING. -Raubs have receded to X5 without any business to speak of.
DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWNS. - Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks have been dealt in at $196 and close quiet at that rate. loon Wharves have ruled in good demand and
