WEEK ENDS STRONG. ■ N.S.W. BANK IN DEMAND. DROP IN COLONIAL SUGAR. The local Stock -Exchange registered a substantial volume of business yesterday afternoon, and this was followed by the busiest Saturday morning call that has been experienced for a considerable period.

Bank of New South Wales were in especial demand, and four parcels changed hands at an advance. The general tone ot the market was decidedly healthy. An exception was'in the case ot Colonial Sugar, in which a holder dropped his price £3 5/ on the last local «ale recorded the first week in September, in order to effect a transfer. • ~,,,, Farmers' Auctioneering Co., which holds its annual meeting to-day, was quoted ex div., with values adjusted accordingly.
