HONGKONG SHARE QUOTATIONS.
HONGKONG, 5th March, 1909.—A fairly good demand for investment purposes has again been in evidence in our market during the past week and rates in many cases have again improved, the general tone at the close being one of continued firmness, under review have been a further substantial The features of the period advance in Banks, and to some extent in China Sugars also, whilst Shanghai Dooks and Hong- kew Wharves also show a further gratifying appreciation. Exchange on London has declic- ed to 1/84 (T./T. and Barsilver to 234d. The T/T. rate on Shanghai is quoted at 743.
BANKS, -Hongkong and Shanghais after 0.28 small sales at $872 and $875 rose rapidly to $885, and the demand continuing, again to $895. and finally to $900, at which figure a fairly good business has been transacted, the market closing firm with further buyers. The latest London quotation per Reuter is £84, 108. Od., but an advance on this is naturally anticipated when next advices come to hand. Nationals continue in request at $51, but no business is reported,
MARINE INSURANCE.-Unions are easier at $825 at which figure a small sale is reported. China Traders, North Chinas, and Yangtzes are unchanged but in request at quotations, and it is probable that Cantons could also be placed at the quoted rate, viz, $187),

Yokohama, 15th February.-During the fortnight the raw silk market has been very quiet, with but a small business to report. Prices have receded somewhat; but scarcity of desirable silks prevente any important decline. As regards fine sizes, the supply is practically exhausted for the time being and very little more is expected to arrive during the current season, A considerable business in waste silk, was done during the first week of the period under review, but the market has since been quiet. The stock on hand is most- ly composed of inferior qualities. Habutai. There has been but little doing in the Kanazawa mar et during the first fortnight. of the month, prices remaining fairly steady, though 26 inch goods show a slight decline. Demand from America has fallen off and enquiries from Europe are limited. Rates for Echizen are steady, but business is altogether very quiet; indeed, buyers appear to hold off in anticipation of lower prices. Enquiries for Kawamata have been chiefly confin- ed to 36 inch, otherwise there is a slight downward tendency.
MISCELLANEOUS EXPORTS.
Tis, 84 and later at Tls. 85, but on the demand continuing with increased strength from the north the rate rose rapidly to Tls. 89, Tls. 90, and finally to Tls. 91 at which figure the mar. ket closes strong.
Shanghai and Hongkew Wharves have advanced in the north to Tls. 177 with buyers, but no local business is reported.
FIRE INSURANCES.-Hongkongs have reced- ed slightly, and are obtainable to a small extent at $330. Ühinas after a small sale at $106 cum. div. have advanced to $99 ex. the dividend and bonus of $8 per share paid to-day.
SHIPPING. -Hongkong, Canton and Macaos are firmer with buyers at $291 but no shares appear available under $294. Indo-Chinas have bined, and more shares could probably be been booked at $39 prefs and $19 Defs com- disposed of at these rates. Douglases contince in request at $34, and Shell Transports at the improved rate of 52/- China and Manilas are still offering at $12.
MINING.-Charbonnages have been booked at $600 oum the dividend of Tis 37 (Interem on account of 1908, Coupon 16) paid in Paris on the 1st instant, and more shares are wanted. Raubs are easier with sellers at $84. Chinese Engineerings have been booked and are in further request at Tls. 184.
LANDS, HOTELS AND BUILDINGS. - Hong- kong Lands continue in request, but no shares are available at the quotation of $96.
