FLUCTUATIONS IN SHARES.

A HEALTHY MARKET.

BREWERY SHARES FIRM

A healthy tone continues on the Auckland Stock Exchange, and there have been a fair number of sales over the last 24 hours, with values well maintained. Government issues are steady, though the scarcity of offerings limits business. The breweries section is-firm, and New Zealands advanced still further, with a. sale at £1 9/3, and more wanted at that figure. Gas shares, too, are in demand, and £1 1/9 was offered this morning for Aucklands, with no holder quoting. The increase in metal prices brought in a buyer for Kuala Kampars at 5/3. Renown Collisry shares were available at 2/6 for the ordinary and 1/ for the preference. The Noon Call. At the noon call 4 per cent Government braids were offered at £100 10/. South British Insurances had their first sale since the interim dividend was paid, and at £3 3/8 were virtually unchanged. Renown Collieries were offered 3d cheaper, at 2/3, and Guarantee Corporations at 5/. Buyers for Auckland Gas moved up to 22/. SALES COMPLETED. Last Sale. AT THE 3.15 P.M. CALL YESTERDAY— Bank N.S.
