Commercial.
THIS DAY.
4 o'clock p.m. Business on the Stock Exchange to-day has been of a most nominal character, a few small transactions in Luzons being the only transfers which have come under our notice, Comniencing at par a number of shares changed hands, and then at one per cent. premiumfurther business was booked; but these transactions, as above indicated, were not of any importance. We have heard of no infairies after Banks, but believe that shares might be obtained
