FREIGHT.
Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Freight Market Report, dated Shanghai 7th June, 1906, states:— Since our last everything has continued extre- mely dull indeed, and we have no change to reporf in our Homeward Freight Market. Constwise:-- This remains unchanged, with poor rates all round. There is hardly any demand for tonnage from Japan, and only a few enquiries from the River Ports.

To Glenoa, Mar- seilles or Havre 41/8 per ton of 40 e. ft. plus river freight. To New York (via Suez) 32/- per ton of 40 c. ft. plus river freight. To New York (via Suez) Tea 30/6 per ton of 40 c. ft. plus river freight To New York (overland) Tea G. $14 cents per Ib. gross, plus river freight. Ta Shanghai: Tea and General Cargo. Tls. 1.00 to 1.80 per ton, weight or measurement.
SHARE REPORTS.
HONGKONG, 22nd June, 1906.--The market. continues dull, and we have only a small invest- ment business and some rearrangements of the small settlements due on the 29th inst. to repert. Rates in our local stocks, with but very few exceptions, still show a tendency to weakness,
BANKS. Hongkong and Shanghais have been in demand all the week at $815, but no shares are forthcoming, and at the close buyers would probably spring the rate if they were fairly certain of getting shares. There are none however on the market, and higher rates seem probable. Nationals have been placed at $338.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions continue in demand at $810, but no shares are obtainable except at an advance, which buyers do not appear to be willing to make at the moment. China Traders continue with buyers, but with no sales to report. Cantous have ruled rather weaker and at time of closing sellers rule the market at $352.50. The Northern Insurances remain quiet and without local business.,
FIRE INSURANCES.- Hongkongs are still in request at quotation, but shares continue scaros.. Chias have been placed at $85 and more are wanted at that rate.
SHIPPING,- Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have been enquired for all the week at $25,50, but only a very few shares have changed hands, and the market closes with an improved demand at $25. Indos have ruled much weaker, and with the cessation of demand from Shanghai the rate gradually declined without sales, the market closing quiet at quotation. Douglases have found buyers at 840 and close with fur ther buyers at that rate, Shell Transports have been booked at 27,- and close with probable buyers. China Manilas and Star Ferries have been quite neglected.
REFINERIES.
China Sugars have further declined to $160- without business. Luzons remain quiet and unchanged,
MINING. A few Raubs have found buyers at $31; further than this we have nothing to report under this heading.
