Three and a half's were wanted at £99 10/, with none offering. Bycroft's shares were quoted ex dividend, with buyers at £1 15/. Farmers' Trading scrip was in demand • and buyers for the B preferences raised their reserves to 0/. Grand Junctions were asked for at 3'o, and Waihis. at £1 1/9. The Noon Call. Business was quiet at the noon call, and Tallies generally were steady. Auckland Gas made an advance of a •penny, after which there were more available at this price, with buyers a penny ' lower. New Zealand. Insurances continued to sell at the j'ower level reached earlier in the week, and bidding was firm.. A noticeable drop was shown by G jlcondas in the mining section. SALES COMPLETED.
