ON THE ’CHANGE

FEW SALES RECORDED MINING WEAK Business on the ’Change this morning was quiet, but a healthy tone prevails. Banks and insurance shares remain firm, and attract steady buyers. New Zealands were dealt with on a firm market a't 5Ss 3d. Coals continue in good tone. Taupirts are slightly easier. In timbers, the market has eased over the last two or three days. Kauris are weaker and buyers are in at 24s Gd. Miscellaneous is quiet and mostly idle. N.Z. Fertilisers are weak. Mining is dull and depressed, with the tendency, if anything, downward.
