Commercial.
THIS DAY.
Noon. Share business is almost at a standstill, With the exception of a few time invest ments in the. Dock Company's scrip at 60 per cent. premium for October and 61 for November. not a single transaction worth chronicling has been reported this morn Ing. China Sugars are still freely offered at 150 per share, a large number of shares having been placed on the market at that figure. We heard that a quotation of 149 was returned in, one quarter; but so far. as we can learn not a single share has changed hands. There have been several inquiries after Banks at 189, without, how ever, leading to business.
4 o'clock p.m. The only transactions reported this after- noon were a few sales of Hongkong Fires at 345, and a small lot of China Sugars at the reduced rate of 148. Nothing else need be specially referred to.:
