SHARE REPORTS.
HONGKONG, 4th October, 1907.-There has not been much business during the week, but rates have ruled fairly steady and of
mauy the smaller stocks have been in fair demand and have changed hands. The exquiry, at time of closing, remains
less unsatisfied. Exchange on London T: T. 2/2, oo Shanghai 73, BANKS. Notwithstanding the second call of £15 on the new issue of Hongkong and Shang. hai Banks being due on the 1st instant, the stock has ruled very steady, and it was with difficulty that a small demand at current rates was met, sellers appearing very reluctant to part. Sales have been effected at $645 and 86471 forthe old issue, and at8640 for new issue (£30 paid up). The difference between the two rates is to som extent accounted for by the next dividend, in. which the new issne will only participate to the extent of 75 per cent.
Nationals remain unchanged and without business.
