The following are the latest quotations as revised by Mr Walter Bcwlcy, New Plymouth:—

There have been more transactions in the share jnarket this week and the stocks most dealt in have shown slight advances. New Zealand and South British Insurances are both firmer, as are also New Zealand and National Banks. W'estport coal and New Zealand Drugs are in demand. Wuol/en shares arc easy. In mining. Waihi's ha*o pjperienced a considerable drop to j£q \ U'Jt due, however. to any falling off in the but in all probabiliiy to reaction after the recent rapid rise and the colonial market being considerably ahead of the Engliati quotations. Vi'aiotahi and Talisman have both made an upward move, but Champions have receded, and are now offered at i.'R for paids. Pactolus have again been in demand al 386 for a large parcel, to 315, for smaller lots. In Petroleum shares the market is quiet and I report sale? of Taranaki paids at 13 a
