r sales, B buyers, S sellers, p premium. Since onr last report the tone of the markit has been steady, but with little business doing. Bank of New Zealand have been done at 775, but have imp'oved slightly in value since. Insurance shares are steady, but with a probability of the Government placiag a loan on the local market bank rat3s will almost certainly be advanced and a general hardening of rates ensue, and investment stocks will suffer accordingly. We have sold Waitai gold mining '«hare» at subtly lower prices than the previous week. The we'Pk's dredging rehires have been a record for the year, chiefly owing to the retnrnsof 1158ozs by the 1 Hartley andßiley. We«t Coast dredging Cdmpatties are making stoady progress, and the Jamieson's Reward, which is largely held locally gave i return of 61ozs for i days, #nd will very 3001 pay a dividend.
