Commercial.
THIS DAY, FOUR г.. Business on the Stock Exchange is still unusually quiet, not a single transaction having come under our notice since we last wrote. Banks are, if anything, firmer than of late, a good demand 'existing for the stock at 113 per cent. premium, and possibly a slightly higher price would be paid.
Marine and Fire Insurance quota- tions remain unchanged. There are buyers. of Docks at 50 per cent.. premium, and sellers at 51; but no actual transfers have been recorded. The stocks of both the Sugar Refining Companies are in much better favor. The old stock is quoted at 158, with buyers, and there is a strong demand for Luzons at 143 for cash. There are also offers to buy Luzuns' on time, at 115 for June.
