NEW POLICY ADOPTED. A new policy with regard to trading in the shares of public companies not listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchanges has been adopted, by the Auckland Stock_ Exchange, and, .commencing next year, it is proposed .to issue daily an unofficial list of such shares.
This step has been made possible by an addition to the rules of the Stock Exchange Association, making the publication of an unofficial list permissible provided that the list states conspicuously that the snares listed are not quoted on the official list and that all transactions in the shares quoted are subject to.double rates of brokerage. This is the first occasion on -which the association has permitted the issue of an unofficial list, although it has long been the practice of the London Stock. Exchange. _ '
