MR ROOPE BROOKING'S SHARE REPORT.

The operations for the month have been very feAv, it being A-ery difficult to move any tiling-,. especially insurance stocks. Banks —A few transactions in this stock have been completed, but at low quotations, placements being hard to effect. Insurance —All stock of this class is loav, and sellers arc holding for higher prices ; consequently very little business is doing in them. These remarks apply to all classes of stock at the present time. Shipping has a slightly downward tendency; N.Z. Shipping has fallen ss. Coal —I have had no transactions in this line ; I haA-e sellers of AVestport at 17s (20s paid). There are some enquiries for Kaiapoi and Mosgiel.
