ON IKE ’CHANGE

MARKET QUIET WAIPAS WEAKER Business on the ’Change is quiet and few sales are recorded. Banking and insurance shares continue to command attention, though Nationals of New Zealand at £ 6 15s 6d is the only sale reported. In coals., Hikurangis are keenly sought after on a firm market. Most other shares in this section are in good tone. Waipas are slightly weaker. Mining continues idle, with Alburnias weakening, to see a sale at 2s lOd at mid-day. Gilt-edged stocks are depressed and many quotations are withdrawn. SALES REGISTERED At yesterday afternoon’s call. —On ’Change: Northern Steam (con.), 6s 7d; Alburnia, 3s. Reported: National Bank of New Zealand, £6 15s 6d; Auckland Harbour Board, per cent., £9B 10s. At this morning’s 10 o’clock call.— On ’Change: Alburnia, 3s. Reported: New Zealand Breweries, £1 3s 9d.
