THIS DAY

Noon: There has been no business of impor tance transacted in the Share Market this

morning. A few stocks have been made the medium of desultory inquiries at quoted rates, but no transfers have resulted." Banks, if anything, would appear to be scarcely so firm for cash as when we last write; and there are sellers on time at 146 per cent. premium for the end of the year, who have failed to find speculators willing to invest on these terms. There are also sellers of Docks at $3 per cent. pre- mium for cash, and business has been done at 55 for the end of January. Steamboats are firm at 30, per share premium, and the same remark applies to the stock of the China Sugar Refining Co. at 196 per share. We have heard nothing relating to Luzons to-day, but we under- stand that, at 112 for cash, and 114 for the end of the year, a number of shares might be placed..

Since our morning report was issued a fair number of share transactions have been booked. Sales of Banks at 140 for cash have been reported, and we also hear of time Business at 145 for December 31st. Steamboats have been placed at 30 cash and 31 for the end of the month; leaving off in strong demand at these quotations The only movement in Docks we have. had brought under our notice, was the sale of a few shares at 55 for theendof January, and this we have previously alluded to: Luzons have been further dealt in, both at 112 for cash, and 114 for December 31st, and there are buyers at both these rates., Ices have changed hands at 152, and we think. that more shares would be taken up were they obtainable at the quotation. No business either in Hongkong or China Fires has been reported, but we may note that both stocks are firm, with buyers at their re- spective quotations Hotels are in strong demand at 107 per share.

LETTER BOXES,

Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with sealing wax, but there is no impression of a seal

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boxes with some recognisable seal, and of sending a chit... book or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office: the omission of the fornier, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps.
