A considerable amount of business has been put through since our last report. Banks have changed hands at 168 and 169 percent. přemlum for cash, and transactions have also been arranged at 174 for March, This afternoon offers to buy at 168 went unheeded. Steamboats have been done at as high as 223, but the stock has weakened slightly and shares are now offered at 227. Both our local Sugar stocks are much weaker. Chinas are out of favor at 193, most equivocal whilst Luzons hold a position. We quote the scrip of the latter Company at So, but that is a purely nominal figure, and it would be difficult to say, at what price buyers would be induced to deal. A fairly large business has been done in Punjoms at rates between 71 and 91 for cash, and likewise at 9 for March and 10 and 11 for June. The closing cash rate wasg, with sellers. Important transactions have to be chronicled in connection with the scrip of the Wharf and Godown. Co. The sale of the old P. & O. Co.'s property to Mr. H. N. Mody at a profit of $120,000, together with the report that it has been decided to reduce the capital by making a return to shareholders of $25 per share on the paid-up capital, greatly strengthened the stock, and important cash business has been arranged at rates ranging between 80 and 90 per cent. premium, and also at from 85 to ga for March. There are now cash buyers at go. We have to report another sudden and mysterious "boom" in the Steam Launch Co.'s shares, business having been done at from 25 to $5 per cent premium. This movement is said to be a corner! specially got up for the benefit of some Chinese speculators who are reported to have sold short to a considerable extent. Needless to say the prospects of the Company have not in any way improved, but rather the contrary. The Government subsidy fizzle has ...collapsed, and the first dividend may be looked for with the Greek Kalends. How- ever, it is a very easy task for unscrupulous traffickers to control the affairs of a Company which has only two thousand shares in all, and it is this "corner" which explains the present market price of a stock which on its merits, ought to be quoted at about so per cent, discount.. These remarks are specially indited for the benefit of those interested. In other stocks nothing requires special reference.

"HERE is no feature of our civilised life that strikes a thoughtful man with more force than the neglect of LIFE ASSURANCE. BY payment of a small quarterly subscription any man of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case of premature death, yet hundreds of families brought up in comfort-- perhaps in luxury-are left in extreme poverty every year from the bread winner having.
