Without a single share changing. hands, so far as we know, Docks became

peated offers of 50 per cent. premium. At this price a large number of shares could be placed, but, as gone are forthcoming, an advanced quotation is extremely probable before any business can be done. A few Steamboats have peen sold at 24 per share premium, without, however, in any way af- fecting the market status of the stock. Hotels have also been dealt in at a slightly higher rate, small sales at 1023 having been reported late yesterday afternoon. We have heard some speculation indulged in as to the probable rate likely to be ab- tained for the Hotel Company's 142 unal- lotted shares, for which tenders have been invited, and a general impression appears to prevail in well informed circles that an average of at least three per cent, premium will be the result. Sugars remain nomin-sea. ally at 170, but no actual business has been done, nor have we heard any inquiries made after the stock, There are no changes to report in Fire or Marine Insur-
ances.
