BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have declined to $855 at which rate several small | Cotton Mills- sales have taken place; the London rate has also fallen to £89. At time of writing, however, a better feeling is apparent, and it is doubtful whether many more shares would be forthcoming except at an advance in the rate. Nationals have been placed at $40 and more shares are wanted at that rate.
MARINE INBurances.—Unions have further improved to 8800 with sales, and close steady at the rate. China Traders have been placed at $96 and $97 closing with buyers at the former and sellers at the latter rate. Cantons have found buyers at the improved rate of $350 and close steady at that. The Northern Insurances are quoted from the Shanghai advices, being without any local business to report.
FIBE INSURANCES.— Hongkongs have ruled steady with an inclination to improvement and small sales have been made at 8300. Chinas con- tinue in demand and difficult to procure at 883 to $84, and we have heard of no sales. Market closes with no shares on offer and with a small unsatisfied demand at $84.
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macaos! have improved to $244 with sales, a demand at $241 meeting with no response. At the time of closing, although a few more shares are ob. tainable at $241, the market closes decidedly firmer and higher rates may be looked for in the near future. Indo-Chinas continue neglect. ed and weak; shares have been on offer during the week at $95, but no sales have been reported of any consequence. China-Manilas are on the market at $18h ex div., and New Star Ferries are offering at $23; we have nothing further to report under this heading.
་་
REFINERIES.-China Sugars remain out of favour and without business; sellers ruling the market we have no sales to report. Luzons con- tinues quiet and practically out of the market. MINING. We have only small sales of Raubs to report at quotation.

LANDS, HOTELS AND BUILDINGS.-Hong- kong Lands have been in some small demand, and offers to buy at $112, $113 failing to bring out shares, the rate rose to 8114 at which a few shares changed hands. At time of writing buyers do not appear to be inclined to pay the closing price, but at a point under a few more shares might be placed.
