Commercial.
THIS DAY, Four F.x. To-day's share transactions have been of the most insignificant character; in fact, - no business worthy of special notice has been reported. There are cash buyers of Banks at 116 percent. premium, butholders decline to deal at that price. In our last report we stated that a demand for "China Traders at 1.550 ex. div. had not been
met."
We should have written" Union Insurances." The last named stock is wanted at the above quotation, but there are no sellers. Hongkong Fires are rather weaker at 925, with no buyers at that rate, Docks are also slightly weaker, although a few shares are wanted at so per cent. premium. If buyers could be induced to offer si a large business might be done. Further small sales of Luzons at 118 have been booked, and there are still enquirers
