ON THE ’CHANGE

A QUIET MARKET FERTILISERS FIRMER Despite the fact that there is a firm tone in the market for most of the better classes of securities. little actual business is recorded on ’Change. Only one sale was put through this morning. All sections are quiet and little movement is registered in quotations. In the miscellaneous section, New Zealand Fertilisers have improved slightly to see steady buyers in at 82s and no sellers. Mining continues dull and depresed. SALES REGISTERED Yesterday afternoon’s business: —Reported: Union Oil, Soap an 4 Candle, 41s. At to-day’s mid-day call. —On 'Change: Devonport Steam Ferry, 24s 9d. MID-DAY QUOTATIONS
