Commercial.
THIS DAY.
Noon... Business in the Share Market is still very quiet. Banks continuo very firm with an upward tendency, sales having taken place at 193 and 194 for the end of the month, leaving off with buyers at the higher rate, Luzons are decidedly weaker, offers to sell at $r for the end of the month falling to induce buyers to invest. Nothing else requires special mention.
4 o'clock p.m. We have no further business to report
from the Share Market since last writing.
Luzons are still on the downward journey, and are now on offer at $10 per share. Other stocks remain as per annexed list.
