Commercial.

THIS 'DAY.

Noon. A fair amount of business has been put through in the Share Market this morning, and-several important changes have taken place. Banks have changed hands at 195 premium for the end of the month, and 198 for March jist; there are now cash buyers at tog, the stock being very firm at that rate. Docks have slightly improved their position, and are wanted at 50 premium. China and Manila S. S. Co.'s shares have been negociated at $115 per share, and are still in request at the same figure. Luzons are very shaky cash sales at $108 and $10 for the end of April have been put through, and many more' shares could be obtained at the cash rate. Other stocks remain as per annexed list.`.

4 o'clock p.m. The only thing we have to chronicle since last writing is a further decline in Luzons. This stock is now freely offered at 8108 per share for the end of May. As no business has been done at the reduced rate, we leave the quotation untouched un-1 til further developments take place. thing else requires special mention,
