THIS DAY, Fors P.3. Our share report is again of the most meagre description. With the exception of a limited business in Banks at 112) per cent premium, nothing whatever has been done since we last wrote. There are still a few sellers of Banks at 112.

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing 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 Fost Office: the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage stamps.
