ON THE ’CHANGE

MARKET QUIET INSURANCES FIRM Business on ’Change is extremely quiet. No sales were registered at either yesterday afternoon’s or this morning’s early call. At mid-day three sales were reported. Insurances are firm and sellers hard to locate. Shipping scrip is quiet and receiv- . Ing little attention. In the miscellaneous section quota- • tions are practically unchanged. Taranaki Oils have an easier tendency, and j Wilsons Cements are also slightly 1 weaker with sellers at 38s supported by buyers at 37s 6d. Mount Lyells are the only mining shares registering a healthy tone, most other scrip in this section is weak and neglected. SALES REGISTERED At this morning’s mid-day call. — ! Reported: Standard Insurance. 655; Auckland Gas, 22s 3d; Bank of Aus- j tralasia, £ls Os 6d. Sellers. Buyers. £ a. d. £ s. A.
