Commercial.

THIS DAY.

Noon. Share business generally has been ra- ther quiet this morning, consequently there is little of importance to chronicle. A few Banks have nominally changed hands at 189 and 190 per cent. premium cum new issue for the end of the month; the stock closing firm with buyers at 189. Decks are again inclined to be weaker, seilers offering to do business at 57 per cent. premium, and probably a point lower would be accepted. Some minor transactions in Luzons at 104 have been reported, and at this rate more -shares-could-easily be placed. Nothing

else requires special mention.

4 o'clock p.mi. No further transactions have come un- der our notice since last writing.
