SHARE REPORTS. HONGKONG, 27th July, 1908.-A fair business has been transacted during the period under r view, rates generally with but few exceptions show an advance on those of last week, and the incipient signs of renewed vitality are still apparent in the market,
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais hav further improved w th a small demand to 8845, with only small sales, and at time of closing further small lots are wanted. Holders, however, refuse to part except at an advance and the market closes firm to steady at quotation. Nationals have been done at $47, and close steady at that.
MARINE INSURANCES.- Unions have ruled rather quieter, the recent Luying rate having bal to succumb to a selling one, and at time of writing shares have changed hands at 8800.

Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Freight Market Report, dated Shanghai 19th July, 1906, states ---- There is no change to report in our Homeward Freight Market since last writing:-The tea season is unusually backward considering the time of the year, but this must be partly put down to the over-stocked state of the London and New York Markets, and it is difficult to say when these will be relieved. Coastwise :-Things are just as bad as ever in the actual coasting trade; there is a very slight improvement in the Japan- Shanghai coal rates, fixtures having been made at 81.20 per ton, although we would not care to say how long this is likely to last:-A few out- siders have begun to drift away homewards and if the autumn trade comes up to expectations, the outlook ought to be brighter for those left behind.
