Commercial.

THIS DAY, FOUR P.. With the exception of a few sales of Banks at 113 per cent. premium for the end of the present month, no actual tran- sactions in the transfer of shares have been

reported to-day. For cash a fair quantity of Banks might be placed in 112; but as holders refuse to accept that figure and buyers decline to make any advance, the negotiations have led to no practical re- suits. Insurance shares are rather quiet, If anything, showing a slight depression all round. Docks have been inquired after. and a limited demand for the stock exists at 52 per cent. premium for cash, and 53 for March 31st; however, as above stated, not a single transfer has been booked since we last wrote. Hotels are daily improving their market status. We reported business on Saturday at 105, and to-day a lot of shares could be placed at 107, if holders felt disposed to sell at that price. Sugars remain firm at 1671, and there are buyers of the Ice Company's scrip at 126 ex div. Annexed list of quotations will give all necessary particulars relating to stocks not specially alluded to above,
