TO-DAY.
THE SHARE MARKET.
5 o'clock,
For some time past the business on the Stock Exchange has been of such an extraordinary and unreliable character that we have refrained from commenting on it. Most of the leading stocks have heen operated in rather extensively, but the "bulling" movement which for several days rushed prices up to ridiculously high figures has not been maintained, and in a quiet market quotations are gradually reaching something like a reasonable level. Banks have been placed at 166 and 165 per cent. premium, and are now fairly steady at 163. A goodly number of Docks have been taken up, chiefly at rates between 45 and 50 per cent, premium, the latest reliable quotation being about 48. Steamboats, after being rushed up to 229, experienced a sudden reaction, and are to-day freely offered at from 222 to 223. As was generally expected, China Sugars failed to maintain the high rate at which they were quoted, and' are now apparently out of favour at 187. Luzons have also experienced a big reverse, dropping rapidly from 98 to as low as 85, but to-day there has again been a slight demand for shares. A few of the Tonquin Coal Co.'s shares have changed hands at very high rates-360 per cent. premium in one or two instances, but there is very little of this scrip on the market. The latest business reported was done at 335-
Probably owing to a reported Chinese opposition, the Land Investment Co's shares gradually fell from 175 to as low as 140. a big business being done at intermediate rates. Another new venture, the Electric Light Co., has provided some sensational doings on a small scale. Before the allotment, sales of the scrip were made at as high as $20 for $2, paid-up shares, but a " scare " seems to have set in at all events, as soon as the shares were apportioned the price quickly fell, and there are now sellers at $8. Some reports have been current as to high rates of premium being on offer for the shares of the lately formed Fenwick & Co., Ld.. and of a new timber company, most of which are either purely fictitious or have to be swallowed with a very large grain of salt. Other quotations speak for themselves.
