There have been inquiries after Banks, and were holders willing to sell at 132 per cent. pre- miam, we think a lair number of shares might be placed; however, sellers require An advance on that quotation, and as buyers have up

To'clock p.m Banks are in rather better cdour than when we wrote this morning, and a few small transactions at 133 for cash, have been negociated. There are, however, a goodly number of shares on the market at this figure, Holderș of Docks are unable to obtain an offer for that stock. We leave our previous quotation--52 per cent. pre- mium-unchanged, although we feel cer- tain that a point less would not be refused by sellers. A few transfers in Steam- boats at 291 per share premium have to be chronicled, and we may add that there are still sellers at 30. Luzons continue their downward course, now standing at par without inducing specula- tive souls to come forward. What a change was there, my masters! Readers of the, Telegraph will doubtless remember a few observations we made with regard to Luzon shares some few months back, when the scrip was rushed up to what we then considered, and still think was a false position. If they have forgotten what we then said a reference to our old files will prove interesting and instructive. We may have something further to say about the. Luzon Sugar Refinery and
