THIS DAY.
Noon. The principal feature of Stock Exchange proceedings this morning is the continued. firmness of Banks. This scrip is in strong demand all round the sacred circle,"! would-be investors freely offering 144 per cent, premium, cash, without, however, succeeding in obtaining any shares. We are not sure that an offer of a point in advance of that figure would ipduce holders to part, so strong is the present faith in the stability of the local Bank. This movement-like most movements in Bänk stock for a con- siderable time past is directly inspired from Shanghai, and we do not see our way ahead clearly enough to justify us in at tempting to offer any sort of prediction as

consider themselves capalile of judging, each one for himself. No business in Fire or Marine Insurances has been reported, but we may note that Hongkong Fires stand nominally at 1075 per share, at which rate scrip could doubtless be obtained. We state this, as the stock is quoted clse- where at 1100, which is altogether a ficti- tious quotation; the last business reported was done at long. Nothing new in Ducks or Steamboats, but a few more Ices have been negotiated at 1575; and there is another. great change in Luzons to chronicle. This erratic stock was particularly weak all yesterday, and business was put through in several instances at gradually reducing rates, both for cash and on time. This morning the scare continues, and as we go to press there are plenty sellers, but no buyers at 104 for cash. Sales have been | booked for 106 on time for December 31st, (and we shall probably have other transac-
tions to pote in or afternoon report.
o'clock p.m. Since last writing a few small sales of Banks have been put through at 144 for cash and 148 for the end of December; the, stock is standing very firm in the market and left off with buyers at the cash, quota- tion. Luzuns have been dealt in "on time" shares having changed hands at 107 for the end of February; holders are anxious to do business at 104 for cash, but buyers seem rather unwilling at present, to come to these ternis. Ices are much improved. in position, having been dealt in at 161 for eash and 162 for the end of the year. Nothing in other stocks has come under our notice.
