SHARE REPOR 1'S.
HONGKONG, 23rd August, 1907.—The Mar- ket continues very slack, but as a p^ssible result of a tendency to weakness in sterling exchange a little improvement in the volume of business transacted during the week has to be reported. | Rates remain without any material change and except in a very few cases show no signs of any permanent improvement. Exchange on Lon- don T/T 2/23, on Shanghai 727.
BANKS.
Hongkong and Shanghais, im- mediately after the payment of the dividend of $16 paid on the 18th inst., were placed at $646 and $647 old, and at $5071⁄2 new, while unauth- enticated sales were reported at lower rates, At time of closing there are buyers at $646 and $505 respectively, with probable sellers at a little higher rates. Nationals unchanged.
MARINE INSURANCES.—We have a very quiet market to report, and with the exception of a small sale of Unions at 772 no business has been transsoted.
Fire InsuraNCES.-With the exception of a small sale of Hongkongs at 315 we have no business to report under this heading. Chinas have declined to 87 with sellers and no sales.

CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
