THIS DAY, FOUR P.M. Now that the race fever has well nigh run its course, indications to resume share business are plentiful to-day; and no doubt after to-morrow's settlements we shall have soon to chronicle transactions of import- | ance. Quotations remain unaltered since we last wrote. A fair business in Banks is reported to have been get through on Saturday, something like 200 shares having been placed at 12 per cent, pro- mium for cash. It is rumoured that this transaction was completed in fulfilment o an order from Shanghai; however, on that point we are not in a position_to_speak definitely. The stock is still rather weak, with sellers at 112, Docks are in good demand, buyers offering 50 per cent, pre- mium, without obtaining a single share. The Company's report, which we published on Saturday, appears to have given gene- ral satisfaction, and its favorable cha- ractercannot but materially affect the position of the scrip in the share market. Business was done at the end of last week in the stock of the Canton Insurance Company, Limited, at 85 per share, and at this rate there still exists a strong demand. Steamboats are quoted at 24
