in stocks having come under our notice. Banks are much firmer in the market, with buyers at 134, and probable buyers at a point higher. Other shares remain as per annexed list.
4 o'clock p.m. There has been very little business in actual transfers transacted, the time of the brukers having been almost entirely taken up with the usual settlements, which, by the way, we are glad to hear, have been got through most satisfactorily. A few small lots of Banks have been negotiated for cash at 135 and at this increased rate. the shares are in strong demand. There are buyers of Docks at 124 per cent, pre- mium, and sellers at 53, the half point dif- ference having stood in the way of busi- ness, n.that rally nothing has been done. Luzonsave changed hands for cash at 105--not to any considerable extent and at this rate the stock may be said to be fairly firm. Marine and Fire Insurances have not been inquired after, and other stocks remain unchanged.
