TO-DAY.

THE SHARE MARKET.

5 o'clock.

After a spell of comparative Inactivity share business has suddenly assumed a lively aspect, and nothing is now heard on "the Rialto" but reports of sensational "booms" in stocks that were already quoted at ridiculously inflated prices. For some considerable tline past Steamboats in particular have been a popular medium of speculation, a shuttlecock for inspired traffickers to play with, One has only to study the repeated ups and downs experi- enced by this stock during the past few months to see plainly how sensitive a plant It has been, and to thoroughly understand with what facility its presumed market value has been manipulated to suit the interests of those persons who manage to exercise in some way or other a complete control over the Company's internal affairs, That the Steamboat Company is e substantial and prosperous commercial enterprise admits of no doubt whatever, but there is absolutely nothing in its present position or immediate future prospects to justify the "boom" which late yesterday and to-day rushed the shares up from 224- to as high as 232, ex. div. for the end of this month.

We have heard no particular reasoni advanced for this improved state of affairs, Hongkong Fires have changed hands at 370, and thereare further buyers atthatrate, Sales of Punjoms have been put through at 10 and ri, and shares are still offering ock at the latter figure. In the Wharf and Godown Co's stock business has been done for cash at 91 per cent. premium and on time at 95 and 96 for June. China Sugars are in good demand at 210, while Luzons stand nominally at 90. Nothing has been heard of the Steam Launch Co's | scrip forsomedays, and norellable price can be quoted, but so far as we can ascertain the Company is gradually inbreasing the debit balance shown in Profit and Loss Account at the end of last year. Some transfers of China-Borneos at 30 per cent." premium" have been reported, but there are further shares on, the market at that rate. Nothing else calls for special remark.
