HONGKONG, 18th May, 1906. Nothing worthy of any special note has occurred during the week, and with the exception of a further inclination to weakness, the market has rul-d featureless.

BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais have been on offer during the week at 1850, but no sales are reported, and the market closes with sellers at that rate. Nationals have ruled quieter, and shares could probably be procured at quotation.

MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions have been placed at the improved rate of $800. and at time of closing a higher rate would in all probability find further buyers. China Traders continue in demand, but no business has resulted. Can- tons have improved to 2360 with sales, and close steady at that. The Northern Insurances remain unchanged and without business.

FIRE INSURANCES.-The market has ruled dall with sellers of both Hongkongs and Chinas at quotations, and we have only sinall sales of the latter to report.

|

|

SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have changed hands at $541, the market closing with sellers at 825. Douglases have been negotiated in small lots at $40 and more could be placed at that rate. Indos continue quite neglected, and offers to se'l at 891 have met with no response: it is probable that a slightly lower rate would be accepted by sellers, Star Ferries have found buyers at quotations. We have nothing else to report under this heading.

MINING. Raubs have been placed at $2.75 and $3 closing steady at the former rate. Charbonnages remain unchanged and without business.

REFINERIES.-China Sugars continue en- tirely ont of the market and sellers at 8170 meet with no response. Luzons remain totally neglected and without business.{
