most nominal character, and there are but few changes of importance to report. Banks are decidedly firmer than when we last wrote, and although we are not aware of a single transfer having been booked, the stock is quite steady, with buyers, at 116 per cent, premium. Hongkong Fires have been inquired after at 950, but holders decline to sell at that rate, and no advance on the quotation has yet been offered. China Fires are still offered at 292 without finding purchasers, and we think that a goodly number of shares could be A procured at a slightly reduced rate. few sales of Docks have to be chronicled at 43 per cent. premium, but this must no! be taken as the current quotation of the stock in the market, as this particular

business was transacted under somewhat exceptional circumstances. There are no doubt sellers of Docks at 44, but only to a limited extent, and we expect to have to report business at a higher figure before the middle of next week. Steamboats re. main nominally at 28 per share premium without a single share having changed hands, and Sugars are still offered all round at 1671, both for cash and the end of the month. Not a single offer to purchase has been made, so we are unable to say what the exact market value of the stock is at present; however, we think that a lower quotation will have to be regis- tered before any further transfers are effected. There has been a good deal

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully scaling such boxes with some recognisable seal, and of sending a chit- book or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office: the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps.
