SHARE REPORTS.
F HONGKONG, 15th September, 1905.—We have nothing to relieve the monotony of our report It is the same old wheeze, nothing of any import- sace to report, business slack, and rates, with very few exceptions, inclined to weakness. The money recently released by dividends paid appears to be mostly absorbed, and cash busiuess has been curtailed in consequence, while forward business, although a small amount has been transacted on somewhat novel grounds, is prac. t'cally speaking non est. There appears to be no elasticity or go in the market, and the field of operations seems to be getting more curtailed every month. It is most probably only a temporary phase, and one which will find its own oure in time, now the peace and prospects of improved business in the Far East is prac- tically assured.
BANKS.-Hongkong & Shanghais, from the same cause as reported in our last, have con- tinued to advance, and after small sales at 8887). $890, and 3-95 close steady with buyers at $900, The demand has this wek been accentuated to some extent by the rumour of a new China loan, but nothing official is known about this, and although very probable the remour must be accepted for what it is worth. Nationals unchanged and without business.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have found farther buyers at $336 and ploge steady at that rate. Chinas continuing in demand the rate has improved to $86 with buyers and no sellers.
MARINE INSURANCES.Unions have been placed during the week at $767 and $770, and close with buyers at 8775; it is reported that the Society will recommend a dividend of $40 per abare. China Traders have continued to rule quiet, and after fair sales at $80 the market closes with sellers at that rate. Cantons, Yang. tszes and North Chinas unchanged with no business to report.
SHIPPING, Hongkong, Canton and. Macaos continue at $264 with buyers and no sales. Indo-Chines remain very quiet but steady at 393 with but's small business. Douglases have improved to $35 with buyers on an authentic report of a dividend of $3.50 about to be declared. Other stocks under the heading continue neglected and without business.
REFINERIES.-China Sugars, with a few settlement shares in the offing, have ruled quiet, and sales have been effected at $230 for the 19th inst. Luzons are on offer at the reduced rate of $17.
