Contrary to antici- pations, the declaration of a final dividend for 1905 of $6 has not materially strengthened the market, at least it had zot done so up to the holidays, what it may do after remains to be seen. The amount proposed to be carried forward is $350,000. Kowloon Wharves have remained quite neglected at 108 and we have no sales to report. Farnbams have ruled between 129 and 132, with varions small sales. Shanghai advises a recon- struction of the Company with additions to the directorate, and it is pretty generally be- lieved that his will have a good effect on the market,
