Commercial.
THIS DAY, FOUR .. There is but little to report from the share market to-day, transactions having been strictly confined to two or three stocks, and in these values remain unchanged. Banks, in small quantities, have been trans- ferred at the figure reported yesterday, namely 121 per cent, premium, but the dealings have neither been extensive or
numerous.
Almost precisely the same may be reported of Docks, there having been a few small lots changed hands at yesterday's quotation, 50 per cent. pre- mium, and there are still a few sellers at the same rate. There having been scarcely any other stock touched, the annexed prices may be considered nominal.
