SHARE REPORTS.

HONGKONG, 15th June, 1906.—The market has again reverted to marked inactivity, and the little improvement reported in our last has not been maintained; with very few exceptions rates have ruled weak and we have but little business to report. Exchange on London T/T. 2/126, on Shanghai 72.

BANKS, Hongkong and Shanghais have improved their position both here and in London. Local business has been transacted at $815 for cash, and the market closes stands with buyers at that rate. The latest quotat on from London is £92. Nationals are neglected and-without any business to report.

MARINE, INSURANCE8.---Unions have ruled firmer and a small demand at $810 bas met with no response. Cantons continue quiet at 8360 with sellers and no sales. China Traders are still in demand at quotation, but there are so few shares to deal with, that the rate must be taken as a nominal one. In the Northern Insurances we have no local business to report, and-Shanghai rates rule about the same as last week.

FIRE INSURANCES.-

Hongkongs are still enquired for at $305, but shares are not forth- coming, and the market closes with a small de- mand at that rate. Chinas have been placed at $85, the market closing steady at that.
