HONGKONG, 28th February, 1908.-Although there has been a little more movement in the market during the week under review, the aggregate of business transacted shows appreciable increase, holders of s'ocks still sit- ting on the fence in anticipation of higher rates, and buyers refusing to raise their limits, being incredulous of any immediate material rise in rates. In short the market remains in statu quo ante and without any special features to report. Exchange on London closes at 18. 104d. | T/T, and on Shanghɛ i at 744 T/T.
BANKS.-Hongkong & Shanghais have chang. ed hands in small lots at $700 the market closing with some small sellers at that rate. Nationals remain unchanged and without business.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions have been placed at 850, closing steady to firm at that rate. Cantons continue on offer at 2424, but we have no business to report. The Northern Insurances have not been dealt in locally, rates remaining unchanged.
FIRE INSURANCEP.-The market has ruled neglected, and we have only small sales of Hongkongs at $332 to report.
SHIPPING. Hongkong, Canton and Macacs have changed hands at 28} ex the dividend of $14 paid on the 25th inst., the market closing quiet, Star Forries continue in demand at quotations without any sales to report. We have no further changes or business to record under this heading, the remaining stocks having been entirely out of the market.
REFINERIES. -China Sugars have continued in request during the week, but we have heard of no sales, and at time of closing buyers at 114 rule the market. Lazons remain unchanged and without any business.
MINING. Rauba have ruled rather weaker, and after a few further small sales at 8, close with sellers at that rate. Charbonnages remain in demand at the advanced rate of 525, and a higher price would probably be paid. Langkats ard Chinese-Engineerings are without alter. ation or business.
DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWNS.--Hong- kong and Whampoa Docks continue neglected, and are now quoted at 94 ex the dividend of 84 paid on the 25th inst. Kowloon Wharves chang- ed bands in fairly large quantities in the early part of the week at 56 for old and 54 for new. Later, however, on the declaration of a smaller dividend than was anticipated, i.e. $14, the rate fell with sales at 55 and 54 to 53. At the last rate, however, a small demand caused a recovery. and the market closes with buyers and no fur. ther sellers at 5455 Shanghai Docks have
declined to 81, and Hongkew Wharves to 214.
LANDS, HOTELS AND BUILDINGS, -Hong- korg Iards have been placed during the week at 101 and at 1003, the market clcsing quiet at the latter rate. Kowloon Lands have declined
