Commercial.

THIS DAY.

Noor We have not a single transaction to re- port from the Share Market this morning. Banks are rather firmer, offers to buy at quotation for cash and 193 for the end of November failing to bring holders to terms. Indo-China S. N. Co.'s shares have gone down to 20 dís, but no buyers at that figure have been forthcoming. China Sugars are still improving and are now wanted at 137 for cash and 140 for De- cember 31st. Nothing in other stocks re- quires special mention.
