understood that there is generally a difference of in the Stock Exchange between the prices a person can sell at and those he can buy
at, the former being less than the latter. The prices obviously include the sum paid for the Share; and therefore the difference between
them and the price paid on the Share is the premium or discount of the Share. Where there are blanks no business was done. We have
carefully corrected the list of the Number of Shares wherever we could; but should any errors be left we shall immediately correct them
when pointed out.
