'THIS DAY.

Noon, Our share list shows a number of lm- portant changes, to which we will briefly allude. There is very little to report in' connection with Banks; the stock fairly maintains its position, although no business of Importance has transpired since we last wrote.. This morning a number of shares could be obtained at 191 per cent. premium cam new issue, for the end of the month; but there are buyers on similar conditions for May 31st at 198. A wonderful change has transpired in China Traders' stock, no doubt owing to the expected early sub-. division of shares. On Saturday this stock was quoted at 1675; to-day it is in strong demand at goo, and no sellers at the latter rate. North China Insurance shares have probably owing to the same cause jumped from laels 1225 to taels 1500. A few small sales in Hongkong Fires at 1400 have been reported, and the stack is fairly firm at the rate. China Fires have-as we predicteil would be the case a few days ago-also risen in public estimation, buyers' freely offering 350 per share-an advance of 15 on the previous quotation. There are buyers of Docks at 52 per cent. premium ex-dividend; but no actual

transfers have come under our observa- tion., Hotels have changed hands at 155, and are in request at that increased rate; there is a demand for Steamboats at
