Messrs. J. P. Bisset & Co.'s Share Report for the week ending the 14th December, 1905, states:----- We have very little to report since our last issue beyond a very considerable fall in 8. C. Farnham, Poyd Shares, which have steadily declined every day. Business has not been very brisk and con- sists for the most part of the December account being adjusted. There is very little now business going on. The T. T. rate is 2/104. Banks.-H. and 8. Banks have further declined to 8870, at ex. 71. Marine and Fire Insuladice-No business reported. Shipping.-Indo-Chinks have weakened slightly since our last, from Tls. 664 for December to Tls. 654. Small business has been done Tls. 663 for January, Tls. 674 March, and Tls. 69 for April. Tugs. Ordinary shares have been dealt in at Tis. 55 in mall lots. Docks and Wharves. The market in S. C. Farbhama has ben steady and persistent. At the commence- ment of the week there were sales at Tis. 137 for December and Tls. 139 for March. Heavy sell- ing has now reduced the rate to Tls. 130 December and Tls. 139 March, and we close with probable sellers at these figures. We have heard of no particular reason for this heavy decline beyond the difficulty of finance. Shanghai and Hongkew Wharves have become slightly weaker from Tl. 207 for December. Shares can now be obtained at Tls. 205. For March Tls: 217 and Tls. 215 have been done, and at the close sellers prevail at the latter figure. Hongkong and Whampoa Docks are quoted in Hongkong at $163 buyers. Sugar. -A single transaction in Peraks has taken place at Tls. 64. Mining-No business reported. Land. -Shanghai Lands have been dealt in at Tls, 120, There are buyers at this price. Industrial.— Ewos have changed hands at Tls. 55 cash and December, cum. div.
