Commercial.

THIS DAY.

Noon, We have to report this morning the most important share transactions that have taken place on the Stock Exchange. for some considerable time past. For several days Banks have occupied a very unsatisfactory position, the market rate. fluctuating in most peculiar fashion with- Immediately out any apparent cause. business opened this morning it became evident that something was amiss, inquiries for a quotation for Bank scripon all hands becoming general. The quotation quickly fell from 206to 202 per cent. premium, and at the latter rate a very large cash busi- ness was put through, considerably over. two thousand shares, changing hands. And but for the wretched state of the wear ther, which renders the streets almost im- passable and prevents the sharebrokers from going their rounds, it is, likely that the transactions would have been very much larger. When our report left it was rather difficult to define the actual position of Banks, but no doubt we shall be able to give some accurate information later on in the day. No other stock has been brought on the tapis.

When it is desired to forward letters to the United States by a sailing ship which is not noti fied as carrying a mail, it is only necessary to post the letters, in the ordinary way, marked and prepaid to cents per half ounce as usual undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of depar ture and despatching the correspondence. It is requested that the letters be posted if possible at least one day before the date fixed for salling.

TEA MUSTERE,

Persons who send Musters of Tea through the Post in Tins are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags. Its believed that the tea will travel mord safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to be bulged in. 4 by 3 by 17 inches is suggested as a good size. The tins should not have sharp.
