THIS DAY.

Noon: Up till noon no share transactions of any importance had been reported: Banks are very firm with cash buyers at 169 per cent. premium, and probably a higher rate will be paid in the course of the day, as the. stock shows a decidedly upward tendency. Canton Insurances are in request at the in- creased rate of 130 per share; but there are apparently no shares on the market at that price. Docks remain steady at 55 per ceat, premium.
