CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT
HONGKONG SHARE QUOTATIONS.
HONGKONG, 26th February, 1909.-The release of dividend money has caused an in ereased demand for investment stocks and a fair Cash business has been transacted, the smaller stocks coming in for most attention, the larger ones being still handicapped by the relactine af holders to part to any extend at the ruling rates. The tone of the market shows a distinct improvement and rates close firm in most cases. Exchange on London closes at 1/83 T. T. and on Shanghai at 74f.
BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais. The market has ruled firm and buyers at 870, ex the div., of $26.02 and boous, paid on the 22nd inst., failing to meet with a response the rate rose to 875 with buyers; with the exception of a few sales from the outporis at that rate we have heard of no business and the market closes firm with buyers and no sellers. The Loudon rate has improved to £86,10., cu dividend and bonus. Nationals have been placed at 51 and close with further buyers,
MARINE INSURANCE.-Unions have changed hands at 825, in small lots and Cantons at 1874, the latter closing steady with an inclination to buy. North Chinas have been negotiated in small lots at 100 but close with sellers at that, azd possibly at a lower rate. Yangtezes have improved to 1924.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have found further buyers at 330, but at 332 a few shares are obtainable, the report just pablished recom- mends the payment of a dividend of $27 per share and the placing to reserve of $114,232.90 and carry forward to new account $368,711.23. The report compares very favourably with last years. China Fires remain steady with sales at 106, the market closing with buyers at that
rate.
SHIPPING. -Hongkong, Canton and Macaos have improved to 29 with sales and buyers, clos. ing strong. Shells are enquired for at 51s., but no shares are available, The latest London quotation is 52, 6d. Indos have further im- proved to 39 and 194 without sales, London quoting £3, 15s. and £2. We have nothing further to report under this heading.
REFINERIES.-Chines continuing in favour and holders refusing to part with many shares at 130. the market after some further sales at that rate improved to 1324 and later to 135 with sales, closing firm at the latter rate. Luzons claim no attention,
MINING. Raubs continue quite neglected closing with sellers at 84. Langkats have im- proved in the North to 800 and Chinese Engineerings to 18% the latter without sales. Charbonages are enquired for at $600 but no shares appear to be available at the rate.
DOCKS, WHARVES AND GODOWNS.-Hong- kong & Whanpoa Docks remain very steady and have been the medium of a fair business at 87 and 88 ex the dividend of $4 paid on the 23rd Inst. the market closing with sellers at the latter rate. Kowloon Wharfs continue in demand at 47, and several sales have been made notwithstanding the fact that no dividend is expected for the year ended 31st December. Buyers rule the market at the time of closing: Shanghai Docks show a decided advance and after sales at 80 in the early part of the week close with buyers at 84. Hongkew Wharfs have also improved considerably in the North and are now in demand at the increased rate For of 173.

COTTON MILLS. — All the Northern mills have improved, the latest quotations being Ewos 105, Internationals 80, Laou Kung Mows 88, and Soy Chees 280 Hongkongs remain out of favour, with small reported sales at 91 while an offer of $9 would probably lead to business.
