ON THE ’CHANGE

WILSONS CEMENTS IMPROVE COALS IN GOOD TONE The improvement of 'Wilsons Cement to see sales at 35s 3d is one of the late features on the ’Change. Good buisness was put through after yesterday afternoon’s call, and the market all round has a brighter tone. Banks and insurances are in good tone, and more buyers are in the field. Guarantee Corp. attract steady buyers at from 9s to 9s Id, mostly from Southern sources. Coals are in good tone with steady buyers on a firm market. Woollens and mining are weak, with no business recorded. Miscellaneous shares command little attention and. apart from. Wilsons Cement, quotations remain practically unchanged. The gilt-edged market is quiet and mostly idle. - SALES REGISTERED At yesterday afternoon’s call: Reported.—Farmers’ Co.-op.
