SHARE REPORTS.
a
HONGKONG, 5th January, 1936.-The improv ed tone of the market reported in our last has been well maintained, and a fair general cash business has been transacted during the week. in most cases at advanced rates. The Chinese New Year bogey is not so rampant, and general impression prevails that its powers of a deleterions effect on the market have been over- estimated. As a matter of fact Chinese weak holders of our local stocks have cleared out of them sometime ago, and the remainder, having po need to sacrifice their stock, are quite pre- pared to hang on for better times. The fact of such an improvement in the tone of the mar ket as has taken place in the last two weeks, at the advent of the Chinese New Year, can only be regarded as a most satisfactory and exceptional feature of our market, and as a bar- binger of a further improvement.

[Jatuary 8, 1906.
Messrs. J. P. Bisset & Co.'s Share Report for the week ending the 20th December, 1905, states:-- During the week under review, notwithstanding the Christmas holidays which made a gap of two days, a fair business has been done, particularly in Farnhams, Wharves and Langkats. These sales were in most cases adjustments for the Dec. Settlements which took place yesterday, and al- though one of the largest settlements of the year it has gone through quietly, but there are rumours of considerable losses. The T. T. rate on London to-day is 2/10. Banks.-H. & S. Banks changed hands at $870 ex. 71. The Hongkong quotation is $865 sèllers, and the London quotatoin £92.10. Marine & Fire Insurance.-No business reported. Shipping -The only business reported is in Indos, which have been placed at Tls. 65 for cash, and Tls. 674 for March. Docks and Wharves.-S. C. Farnham, Boyds. The statements made by sundry brokers of heavy shortage in this stock for Dec. has proved, as we believe, mythical. Probably there are a few short sellers, but if so, they had no trouble in supplying shares for the December settlement, and the quotation of Tls. 130 December delivery fell on settlement day to Tls. 126 for immediate delievery. To-day it is impossible to give an exact quotation, but we think that shares could be had at Tls. 127f. Transactions were done during the week at Tls. 132 for March, and at this rate there are sellers. Shanghai and Hongkew Wharf Co. have been placed for the December Settlement at Tls. 207, 208 and 210, and for March at Tls. 220. There are buyers for March
at this rate. Sugars, Mining, and Lands. No business. Industrial.-The only business in cot- tons is a sale of Ewos at 'l'ls. 44. This is due to a forced sale the day before the settlement. Langkats. A considerable business has been done in these for December, at Tis. 2071, 210, 209, and later at Tls. 207), while March shares changed hands at Tls, 217, 220, and 2224. Stores and Hotels. The only business reported is a sale of Central Hotels at $74. Miscellaneous. —No busi- Loans & Debentures.-Aster House 8 per cent. were placed at Tls. 104.
