MODERATE TRADING

Values were firm on a moderate turnover on the Auckland Stock Exchange to-day. Vendors of 4 per cent Government stock were on the market, but were seeking premiums unacceptable to buyers. Only £500 of Government stock was put through during the morning. A parcel of 95 National Bank of Australasia £5 contributing shares ctianged hands at £6 14/9, compared with £6 5/ at the previously reported sale here in August last. These shares were called ex-dividend last Thursday. Woolworths (Sydney) continued the rising trend, and Dun'.op Rubbers were also placed at a small gain.
