Commercial.

THIS DAY.

Noon. The leading features of this, morning's share transactions are a great rush on Banks, the increased firmness of Docks, and another turn of the tide in regard to. Luzons. The movement in Banks is evi- dently, an inspirud one, and must, under all circumstances, Ee considered of more than ordinary importance Cash sales have beeŋ, boked at the advanced rate of 146 per cent, premium, and one, transac- tion was actually put through at 147 bo-" fore the demand for the scrip- lessened. There are now, however, sellers at 147 and we even think that an offer of 146 would be accepted by certain holders, who held on tenaciously this morning, expecting that the stock would rise still higher, and by doing so just missed the market-for the present af least. An inquiry for Docks at 52 per cent. preniluni had not been met when our reporter left, but as the stuck ap- pears in good demand, perhaps business at a slightly higher figure may be negociated in the course of the day. Luzons yesterday were weak at 101; to-day shares have changed hands at 105, and as there are buyers at the rate, a further rise seems cer. tain-if the ordinary market indications may be supposed to apply to this most erratic of local Stocks. "Nothing else worth reporting has come under our notice.
