AUCKLAND. (bt telegraph.) August 27There is very little change to record. Stocks and shares are firm, but transactions during the past week have not been numerous. Stocks are difficult to quote. All general merchants have the same to relate, that busine-s is entirely of a hand-to-mouth character, the spirit of speculation being entirely absent. hat business is being done is purely routine, but sound and satisfactory. Oats are firm, and range from 2s to 23 3d; a trade line of fair quality changed hands at 2s Id. Maize is not very plentiful, and the market is affected accordingly. Local maize has been sold in parcels as high as 3s 6d; Fijian is quoted at3s 3d per bushel, being scarce; it has, however, been sold at 3s 2d for a very large quantity.
