THIS DAY..
Noon, Business in the Share Market is almost at a standstill; a few small sales of Luzons at tog being the only transactions we have to chronicle. Chinese Insurances have dropped down to 235 without inducing buyers to invest. No other stocks require special comment.
4 o'clock p.m. Since last writing we have traced a few sales of Chinese Insurances at 232 per share. Nothing else has come under our notice.
