4 o'clock p.m. There is still a general stagnation in share business, so far as actual, transfers are concerned; but there have, neverthe. less, been a great many important changes in the price list since we last wrote. It is hardly our business to explain the wonder- ful fluctuations in the share quotations dur ing the past fortnight; those interested in the great game of share speculation can form their own conclusions from actual facts,. A few transactions in Banks have been reported this morning. At 196 per cent premium cum new issue of scrip, for the end of the month, a few shares have been negoclated, but there are plenty-cash-Ferntower, British-steamer, for-Saigon. sellers at 195 The quotations for the scrip of most of our local Marine and Fire Insurance companies are decidedly on the decline. Unions are now freely offered at 750, China Traders' at 2700, Yangtsze at ra25. Hongkong Fires at 1410 ́and China Fires at 303).

This is anything but encouraging for thosesang- uine plungers who have undertaken heavy_time_liabilities. A few sales of Steamboats at 6 per share premium have been booked, and at this rate the stock remains fairly firin, How long it will maintain its present position appears to us to be a matter of considerable un- certainty So far as we know the Company has not discovered a hidden treasure in the Canton River, and the traffic runs in the same old groove.
