DREDGING SHARE MARKET.

(per press association.) Dunedin, This Day. The following sales were recorded at the Dunedin Stock Exchange to-day :

On inquiring we are glad to hear that Mr H. L. Michel (Mayor of Hokitika) is better and has left his bed. His cough, however, is still very troublesome.

The Trotting Conference at present sitting in Wellington has recommended the Inangahua Trotting Club for a totalisator permit. The Racing Conference also has recommended that the usual totalisator permit be granted to the Reef ton Jockey Club.

Mr Edward Hebard, (says the West Coast Times) one of the old identities died at the hospital last night. Mr Hebard was well-known and respected in the district. At one period he was engaged in hotel business in Hokitika, having been from time to time licensee of several houses. He was a native of Essex, England, and at his death was 75 years of age. He was associated for fully forty years with the West Coast. About 3 30 o’clock yesterday afternoon (says this morning’s Inangahua Herald) an alarm of fire was given, and it was at once seen that Mr Stevenson’s cottage, at the rear of the hotel, where the family reside, was on lire. The Fire Brigade were quickly in attendance, and two lengths of hose were soon run out and the water playing on the building. The flames were quickly got under, but not before most of the furniture had been destroyed, while most of the rooms were gutted. We understand that the house and furniture were insured, but the amount is not stated. The Brigade must be given every credit for the very smart manner in which they extinguished the flames, as when they appeared at the scene of the outbreak, the flames were burning fiercely out of the side windows. The fire is supposed to have originated through some clothes placed before the fire to air becoming ignited, and these communicated the flames to the surrounding walls, Much sympathy is expressed for Mr Stevenson as the insurances are far exceeded by the I isses susta n?d. After the troopers landed from the Wainui yesterday they marched up the front street and stopped before reaching the Club Hotel, “ And what for.” Why to see such bargain tickets up (and one trooper remarked there is nothing like this in South Africa), and in they rushed and secured halt-a dozen All JWool Colonial Under Flannels at 2/6 each, and gave a cheer for Christopher Smith's bargains, and sang “Home Sweet Home.”
