FLUCTUATIONS 1M CMARES. GOVERNMENT STOCKS FIRM. A healthy tone is maintained on the Auckland , Stock Exchange, and a fair I amount of business has been finalised since last report. Government stocks have been attracting most attention, and J recent values are fully maintained. At this morning's call a transaction in the Government 5 per cent issue, which was only withdrawn this week, took place, the vendor accepting £97. I In the banking division Commercials I steadied after the recent decline, and had buyers at 14/1. New Zealands were very steady, with only a Id separating buyers, at £2 3/3, and sellers. Guarantee Corporation shares were asked for at 5/2, a rise of 2d. Gas shares were steady, with buyers at £1 0/7. The breweries section was strong, with inquiries for six listed lines, namely, New Zealands, Staples', Tooth's, Toohey's, Tuis and Dominions. | Buyers for Mosgiel Woollens advanced their offers to £7- without attracting a j declaration from sellers. The Noon Call. Firmness in the banking section was evidenced by the values of reported sales at the noon call. Commercial Banks advanced Id, and there were still buyers at the old price. " Sellers raised their limits. New Zealands were steady in contrast with their uncertainty earlier in the week. . . 1 Auckland Gas enhanced their position, adding 2d to their rise of yesterday, with limits higher on both sides of the market after the sale.
