HONGKONG, 23rd February, 1906.-With the exception of Marines, and few other stocks / which have ruled firm, we have to report an al most general tendency to weakness in rates! daring the week under review. The continued persistent firmuess in sterling exchange against general anticipations, and the consequent in- dúcement to realize silver securities is quite sufficient to account for this, and if it were not that our local concerns are in nearly every case (nom) doing well, the declius in rates must necessarily 4.50 have been very much more accentuated than it is. 8.70 BANKS.

MARINE LIBURANCES.-Unions have changed hands during the week at $785, $7374 and $740, closing steady at $750. China Traders, with an unsatisfied demand at $91, gradually rose, after sales at $913 and 892 to 8921, at which last cate the market closes firm with buyers. Cantons continue in request at $335 to $340, but few shares appear to be available except at au advance. Yangtszes and North Chinas remain unchanged and without any local business.
