There has been little animation in any section, though insurances seem to be most in favour with investors at the moment. New Zealands, with a dividend payment imminent, had a sale at £2 0/0, after which holders asked £2 0/9. Queenslands were again on offer at £2 5/, bringing a buyer at £2 1/. In Government stocks 4 ] /2's seemed easier, buyers dropping their oilers to £95' 15/, but holders did not respond. Five i and a half's were still wanted at £101. Sharland's shares were asked for, and buyers moved up to 12/ for the ordinary and 13/ for the prefs. Whitcombe and Tombs shares were wanted, and there were buyers at £2 0/. For Donaghy's Rope £1 9/6 was avail- \ able.' The Noon Call. The market continued quiet during the morning, and no sales were recorded at the noon call.
