THIS DAY, ONE P.M.
Business on the Stock Exchange has not made any improvement since we last wrote," although there have been plenty attempts made by holders of various local stocks to realise at almost, any reasonable prices. Docks remain the songation of the hour, and continue on their downwards course un- checked. A sort of panic seems to have seized hold of those whose confidence in the etability of the stock had previously induced them to invest heavily, and who now appear desirous of getting rid of their shares at all costs, with the usual result that the market is glutted, the price becomes considerably reduced, without leading to a single transac- tion. Dock shares have been offered all round the colony this morning at 33 per cent. pro- mium for the end of the present month, and 3⁄4 for the end of December, but not a single share has changed hands. Cash buai- ness is at presant apparently not thought of. Wilson bowled one; Forbes two, and Whyte four to be sold, it is a fair inference to make that As there are so many shares on, the market

When our report left yesterday at 12.45 the Garrison had finished their first innings for 116 runs, and the Club had scored exactly a "centary" for the loss of four wickets, Whyte and. St. Croix being well "set," having totalled 30 and 15 respectively. The former after adding five to his score was caught off the slows by Young, Wilson taking -the vacɑrit wicket. Five for 148 ↑ White's 35 was composed of one.five, three-throes, six-twos, and singles; a roully first class innings played with- -out-giving-a-single-olanco On-rs-wide balls.
