THIS DAY.
Noon. So far as we can learn no actual busi- ness in shares has been transacted this morning. There are, however, several changes in the quotation list, which merit a passing notice. Banks are inclined to be rather weak, seller's offering to come to terms on the old conditions at 196 per cent. premium for cash and 197 for the end of the month without inducing would-be buyersto invest. China Traders' have also declined to 2800, shares being on offer at that rate, Yangisze Insurances could be obtained at 1275, but Chinese'stock has slightly risen in public favor and could be placed at 220 per share. Steamboats are still on the upward line, buyers now offering 13 per
