THIS DAY.

Noon. Share business has been unusually quiet" this morning, not a single transaction of Importance having been reported. An ing quiry for Union Insurance scrip at 1900 was not responded to. Banks are hardly so firm, á low shares being on offer at 193 cum new issue, without attracting purchasers. Luzons are in good demand at 104;

but.no shares are forthcoming at that rate.
