SHARE REPORTS. HONGKONG, 10th August, 1906.—The inter- position of the August Bank Holiday on Monday somewhat interfered with the flow of │| business, and our market during the period ⚫ under review has ruled a little quieter. The feature of the week has been a short-lived activity in China Sugars, which, in anticipa tion of an interim dividend, improved consider. ably, only however to return to their former nore or less neglected position on it becoming known that the general managers and the consulting committee did not favour the pay- ment of a dividend. The market generally closes steady to firm, but with little activity. Exchange on London closes at 2/1, T. T. and on Shanghai at 721 T. T. Bar Silver is quoted at 30
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have been placed in small lots at $850, and close steady at that rate. Nationals are quiet, but unchanged at $17.
MAEINE INSURANCES.—Unions are still en- quired for at $800, but no shares appear to be available under $810, and consequently there is no business to report. North Chinas and Yang- tazes are wanted in the North at somewhat less than current quotations, but holders do not at present appear disposed to meet the market. Cantons are procurable to a small extent at $335, bat we have heard of no sales during the interval.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs continue in request at $320, and Chinas at $91, after a small sale reported at $904.
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macaos still attract the attention of investors, and shares can be placed at $274. Indo-Chinas are also somewhat firmer, and after sales at $70 are still in demand for the North at that figure. China and Manilas are firm with sales and further buyers at $21. Douglases and Star Ferries are quiet and unchanged at quotations. Shell Transports, in spite of a reported advance in London, are still procurable here at 270, market closing somewhat weak with no business to report,
REFINERINS.-China Sugars, after advauc- ing to $162, have fallen away to $152), at which a small sale is reported to have been effected, market closing quiet at that figure, but with probable sellers. As a result of the six months' working, we understand it has been found necessary, in order to close that period without actual loss, to appropriate the sum of $70,000 from the special reserve fund of $850,000 brought forward from last account to meet such a contingency. Luzons are still in request at $20, but without business.
MINING. Rauba have further improved their position, and sales have been effected at varying rates up to $7, at which, however, a few more shares are available,

Mesars. Wheelock & Co.'s Repor' of the 2nd August, 1906, states:-Our Homeward Freight Market is in a very bad way, taking it all round, and there is practically no cargo wort h speaking of going in any direction. The high rate of exchange, and the high prices ruling for producs, are the main causes at the bottom of this very unsatisfactory state of affairs, and there will be little done until one or the other, or both, come down to working level. Coastwise :- We are still unable to report any improvement in coast rates; everything seems at a standstill and Is likely to remain so for some time until the Autumn trade commences, ie, the cotton season with Japan and the export to the North, which generally increases towards the closing of the Northern Por la for the Winter.
From Hankow per Conference Steamers.--To London and Northern Continental porta 48/-per ton of 40 c. ft. plus river froight. To Genna, MaË. seilles or Havre 41/6 per ton of 40 o. ft. plus river freight. To New York (via Suez) 32/- per ton of 40 - e. ft. plus river freight. To New York (via Snex) Tea 39/6-pertion of 40 c. ft. plastriver freight. To New York (overland) Ton-1/$1! Genta #per 11. gross, plus river freight. To Shanglisi : Ten and General Cargo Tls. 1.80 to 1.80 per teng*weight or measurement.
