Commercial.

THIS DAY.

Noon. There is little doing in the Sharo Market this morning. Banks are very firm at the cash rate, and time sales have been put through at 196 for March 31st and 198 for the end of April, shares being still wanted at these rates. Indo-Chinas are enquired after at quotation, und a slightly higher rate would doubtless be given. Luzons are gradually declining, transfers having taken place at $111 for cash, while offers to part at $112. for the end of the month have met with no response. Nothing else requires special mention.

4 o'clock p.m. With the exception of some time busi- ness in China Sugars at 208 for March 31st. no further share transactions have been reported since we last wrote.
