THIS DAY.

Noon. Business in the Share Market has been rather brisker this morning. Banks have changed hands at 196 per cent, premium, for the end of April, and buyers are now offering. 197, holders standing out for 198; offers to buy at 198 for May and 202 for June had not been met when our report left Hongkong Fires have risen con- siderably and sales have been negociated at $1400 per share, a risc of 850 since yes- terday. Docks have been done at 57 per dent, premium for the end of the month, and are very firm at that rate. China Sugars are in request at quotation, no shares being forthcoming at present. Luzons are a shade firmer, sales at B103 for the end of the month, and $108, per share for July having been put through. Nothing in other stocks came under our notice.

4 o'clock p.m.

No further share transactions of Impor tance have come under our notice, and owing to the Athletic Sports at the Cricket Ground business is generally quiet.
