SHARE BEPORTS.
HONGKONG, 4th May, 1907.-- A fair business has been transacted during the week, but rater, with very few exceptions, have continued to rule with an inclination to weakness, and the market closes a quiet one at quotations. The weakness seems to be caused more by financial and market than by any other reasons.
Many of our chief stocks have apparently touched a price at which a profitable return to investors may reasonably be expected in the natural course of things and in the return swing of the pendulum, the latter occurrence being generally looked upon as inevitable in the not far distant future.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais have ruled rather weaker with small sales at 915, while the London rate has fallen to £101. Nationals have been placed in further small lots at 51, the market closing with buyers,
MARINE INSURANCES-Unions continning on offer during the week, have continued to rule weak, and close with sellers at quotation and no sales to report. Yangiszes are still enquired for at quotation, but shares are difficult in get and we have heard of no sales. The latter Company has declared a dívid‹nd of Tls. 12, &nd North Chinas one of 82). We have nothing else to report under this heading.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hoogkongs h ra reced- ed to 330 after a small sale at 331. Crinas continue neglected with sellers at 85, and no business to report.
SHIPPING.-Boogkong, Canton and Macios. after being in demand the whole of the weak at 294, without bringing any shares on the market. close with sales an probable buyers at 30 Indo-Chinas have found buyers during the week at 71. Douglases have be a placed at 38, olosing with further buyers at thst rate. China and Manilas have declined to 16 without sales Shell Transports have been done a 45/ locally. and at slightly higher rates for London a'c, the market closing with buyer. at 45, aud probably higher rates would be paid unconfirmed London quotation of 47: Star Ferries have sellers at quotations and close without ba iness.
REFINERIES,
