Messrs. J. P. Bisset & Co. of Shangbai in their Share Report før the week ending November 19th, 1908, state:-We have to report another very considerable rise in Maatschappij etc., in Lang- kat shares during the week, and very little else has come in for any attention. The cause of this advance has been the expected bonus of Tls. 10 having been declared, coupled with the favourable news of the discovery of oil on another of the Company's properties in Sumatra. The rise commenced in the early part of the week, and every day showed an increase in price until the market touched Tls. 860 cash and Tls. 925 for March. A sharp reaction then set in, and the market dropped to Tls. 800 for cash and Tis. 850 for March: a demand again set in and without going into detail we quote our rates at closing as Tls. 850 for cash and Tis, 890 for March.
