Commercial.
THIS DAY, FOUR P.M.
The stock of the China Sugar Refining Company, Limiteil, has made another gra- dual advance in public favor. We reported sales of the scrip yesterday at 165 per share, and have now to chronicle the trans- action of further business at 1673, at which rate there are still buyers. Hongkong Fires have been negotiated at 960 per shares, as our remarks in yesterday's ar- ticle indicated would probably be the case. We have also to note the increased firm- ness of China Fire Insurance stock. Yes- terday these shares were freely offered at 200; to-day offers to purchase at that price pass unheeded. Docks remain very firm, with buyers, at 52 per cent, premium for cash, no shares being on the market, how- ever, at that price. The "time" business we reported yesterday, has been supple. mented this forenoon.by very large tran sactions on similar terms-55 for the end of March and 56 for the end of April, several hundreds of shares having heen negotiated on these conditions. Steamboats remain in statu quo; but Hotels are slightly firmer, and we think that if shares were forth- coming good business at par would be transacted. This scrip is, however, in the hands of such a limited number of holders, and is open to influences which cannot very well affect the stock of other companies,

TEA MUSTERS,
•
Persons who send Musters of Tes through the Post in Tins are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags. It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to Le bulged in. 4 by 3 by 1 inches is suggested as a good size. The tins should not have sharp
*comers.
