BEWLEY & GRIFFITHS' SHARE IiEPORT.

T sales, b buyers, s sellers. The share market hag been Quiet daring the past week. Dredging continues to te interferred-with by exceptional water prevailing, but the returns on the West Ooast are such to justify increased confidence when normal weather allows the industry to be carried on under favourable conditions, The Nelson Creek's return cf 98 ounces show | the possibilities of the Coa9t and the steady return from the Pactolus demonstrates the highly payable dis'ribution of gold in the Nelson Creek. A great deal of patience has been required, and more must be exercised', as an industry that will take many years to exhaust cannot be proved in the first few months of its existence.
