Commercial.
THIS DAY, FOUR P.M. The movement in favour of Dock shares, which we reported yesterday, has been continued with the result of materially im- proving the status of the stock in the share market. After very extensive cash busi- ness at 48 per cent. premium, no more shares could be secured, and then 49 and eventually 50 became the ruling price. At the last quoted rate several hundred shares changed hands, and there is still a strong demand for the stock. From market indications I would almost appear as if a higher rate will have to be ten- dered before holders will be induced to sell. With the exception of these exten- sive transactions in Docks, other busi- ness has been of a nominal character. Banks remain qulet, but firm, at 118, and Sugars are also very steady, no liberties being taken with this popular stock. A few Steamboats have been done at 23 per share premium, ex div., which is a slightly reduced rate as compared with the last business reported. It would ap- pear that the "change of government" in in the Hotel Company has inspired fresh confidence in this popular medium for speculation. A very fair business-amount- ing to several hundred shares-has been booked at 97 ex div., and there are still buyers at the rate. Other quotations re- main unchanged.
