SHARE REPORTS.
HONGKONG, 31st January, 19:8.-The enquiry reported in our last has e ntinued, and with a scarcity of sellers, the demand, which has been well maintained, has resulted in a firm market, and in an improvement of rates in many s'ocke, while Wa bave but few weaker rates to report. A fair number of shares have changed hinds, but the fact of holders being reluctant to sell, looking for better prices after the Chines New Year, has to a very great extent curtailed a promising week's business. A feature of the market has been the small number of shares forced on the market; in fact, although forced sales are to be expected to a more or less ex'eat at this season, the present has been notable by t'eir absence, and one may fairly consider that such an exception is a good sign, and one which promises well for, at least, the immediate future.

BANKS.Hongkong and Shanghais have ruled quiet with small sales in the early part of the week at 8710 (old) and 87·5 (new); later small lofs were placed at $707! and 702! respectively, but the market closes a very steady one at the former rates Nationals remain unchanged and without business.
MARINE INSURANCES.- Unions have been in a good demand all the week, and only a few shares have been obtainɛble at 2830, the market 1 closing with buyers at probably a higher rate. We have nothing further to report under this heading.
FIRE INSURANCES. Honghongs bare, changed hands at $33 ́, and clege firm at that rate. Chinas have improved to 98, after seleg at. 95 and 96, after it became known that the directors recommended a dividend and bonus of $8
SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Carton and Macaos have been in demand during the week, and shares have changed hands to some extent at 99, the market closing with further buyers and no sellers. This Company will pay a dividend of $14. and the forthcoming report is considered to be a satisfactory one.
China-Mail-s hara now sellers at 15. We have nothing further
have
beru
to add under this herding.
REFINERIES. - China Sugars neglected during the week, and the reported demand has ceased. We have heard of no sales, and the market clos s with sellers at 109. Luzons have improved to 14, with buyers; buf sbares at these low prices are scarce, and holders not inclined to part.
MINING. Raubs have fallen to SS with sellers and no sales to report. Charbonuages are still in demand, but no shares are forthcoming. Chinese Engineerings are wanted at 15, but we have no local business to report, the market being pretty well cleared of the stock, except of the shares in the bands of investors.
