Commercial.
THIS DAY, Four 1.3.
Share business has been rather more active than usual to-day; still our report is a very meagre ore. Banks are in in- creased demand, buyers offering 116 per eent. premium for the end of the month- which is almost equivalent to cash-with- out, however, succeeding in inducing holders. to sell. We should imagine from market indications that a higher rate will shortly be paid for this stock. A few Canton In- surances have changed hands at 80, and more shares are offered at the price. A small lot of Hongkong Fires have changed hands at 925, at which rate the stock may be described as fairly firm. In Docks a few minor transactions have to be noted, at 51 for the end of May, and on similar terms more business is likely enough to be tran- sacted. Luzons are still firm at 114, and China Sugars could be placed at 158, were holders inclined to sell at that rate. Other quotations have undergone no noteworthy changes since we last wręte,
