THIS DAY..

Noon. i Owing to the arrival of the new Governor, business in the Share Market has been temporarily suspended.

4 o'clock p.m.

A considerable amount of share busi- ness has been transacted this afternoon in several of our local stocks. Banks have changed hands for cash at 190 per cent. premium cum new issue for cash, but there are further sellers at the rate. Union In- surance scrip has made another tremendous jump, sales at 2800 having been put through, and more shares wanted at the price. This is an increase of $300 on yes- terday's quotation. China Traders' have also continued their upward course, business having been arranged at 2700. A few Hongkong Fires have been sold for cash at 1350, but no more shares are on the market at that price. Nothing fresh in Docks; but there are buyers of China Sugars at 206. No other movements of importance have come under our observa- tion.
