Miscellaneous are mostly idle. New Zealand Fertilisers continue firm, one %ale being reported at £4 Os 6d. In mining. Moanataiari’s continue to fluctuate, with buyers still well below sellers’ ideas of value. Waihi’s are firm. Kawarau’s have advanced, leaving the market at midday to-day with sellers asking 3s sd, and buyers offering 3s 4d. Government bonds continue in good tone with a hardening tendency for some parcels.
