THIS DAY

4 o'clock p.m. Considerable activity has been displayed In the Share Market to-day although very few transactions of much interest have been reported. Banks have been made the medium of considerable business "on time" at rates about equivalent to the cash quotation. A goodly number of shares changed hands at 196 per cent. premium for the end of November, and several offers were made by would-be buyers to speculate at 198 for December and zo1 for January, without, however, leading to any definite results. For cash there are still a quantity of shares on offer at 187 Yangtsze Insurances are slightly weaker to-day, with sellers at 1040. A fair cash business has been put through In the Dock Company's scrip, first. at 56 per cent. premium and finally at $7, the stock leaving off fairly firm at the higher rate. China Sugars are again much weaker; for cash, sellers rule the market at 146, and the only transactions that have come under our. notice were some time sales at 150 for the end of January. Luzons stand nominally at 75, but the actual quotation, were busi. ness intended, would probably be consider ably lower than that. Nothing else re quires special reference. SHARES,
