T. A. tions has come under our observation this morning. There are still cash buyers of this stock at 139, but no sellers. China Fires have been asked for at the increased rate of 325 per share; but holders require a higher offer, and so nothing definite has resulted. Steamboats are slightly weaker than they were yesterday at 29 per share premium; and offers to sell Docks at 53 for cash meet with no response. Nothing fresh has transpired in Luzons since our last report; but the Ice Company's scrip is in strong demand at 152. Other stocks require no special reference.
