THE GOLDFIELDS.
New Zealand Insurance shai'es chang-ed hands to-day at 71/6, with further" buyers at 70/. Bank of New Zealdn shares were wanted at 53/, but sellers asked a higher figure, and business did not follow. Timber shares had more attention. Mitchelsons were wanted at 17/, and L.OB. shares at 32/, with sales of the latter at that rate ana" ho sellers quoted. Westport Coal shares had enquiry at 85/, Taupiris at 17/9, while H'ikurangis sold at 8/4. Tonson Garlick. shares had demand at 17/6, and Milne and Choyce at 22/, but these rates were not accepted. In mining shares no business was reported, but Tairua Broken Hills sliares were wanted at 5/, Crowns at 10/9, and Waihi Extendeds at 2/. Strange to say, Waihi shares were easier notwithstanding the excellent return. Sellers were willing to accept £5 18/6, and the best buying quotation was £5 16/6. In cheap lines 9d was offered for Royal Oak shares, and 1/2 for Komata Reefs. As this is the day for alloting the extra shares in the May Queen Extended Company buyers did not quote, but sellers offered lines at 1/1.
