SHARE REPOSTS.
HONGKONG, 17th November, 1905.—We have nothing to add to the introductory remarks in our last circular. the same causes towards weak- ness in rates continues to effect our market, in fact, with a further rise in sterling exchango the effects are becoming more accentuated.
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais have been on offer during the week in small lots at reduced rates without inducing buyers to come to the front, and we have no business to report. The market closes with sellers at 89 5. Nationals unchanged.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions have been offering at $760 and Cantons at $330, butouly a few sales have resulted. China Traders have been fixed in a small way at $90, and more shares are on offer at that rate. Yangtszes and North Chinas unchauged and without local business.
|
FIRE INSURANCES.-With the exception of a few odd lots of China Fires at $88 we have nothing to report under this heading. Horg kongs bave ruled weak with sellers at $340 and no business.
Fenwick & Co., Geo...
G. Island Cement. Hongkong & C. Gas.. Hongkong Electric.....
SHIPPING. A demand from Shanghai sent our market up to 898. after small sales at 8964, $97 and $974, Attime of writing Shanghai rates coming in firmer (at Tls, 71), buyers rule the market at $98. Douglases have been enquired for pretty freely as high as $34, but no shares seem to le available. Star Ferrie (old) have changed hands at quotation, also China-Mauilas, but both stocks close with sellers.
REFINERIES. The market for China Sugars continues dull and we have no business to report. Luzons have changed bands at $144 and $14.
DOCKS. WHARVES AND GODOWNS. -long kong and Whampoa Docks continue ont of favour and small sales have been effected at $175 and $174, the latter sale was, however, of a more or less forced character and cannot be taken as a general one. Kowloon Wharves have changed hands at $1094 and $169, closing quiet at the latter rale. New Amoy Docks aud Farnhams have ruled steady at quotations and without any local business.

FREIGHT.
Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report of the 9th Nov., 1905, states:--The amount of cargo offering for the Continent remains about the same. For New York, via Suez, the last few boats have done very well, but from now on we look for a decrease in the amount of cargo going forward until the Winter season commences, as the Tea, is about finished. Coastwiso:-The market has shown a slight improvement since our last, owing mainly to the lack of small steamers, most of which have been taken up for Vladivostock. Coal rates have been as high as $1.75, and offers on this basis are still in the market, with almost no steamers to take advantage of them. Until the tonnage is released from Vladivostock the rates will probably continue to improve.
