t THE 'SHARE MARKET. .;_'' ( Dullness charactonsed the siiiiroiriaTkof: yesterday: not only were, there 110 sales, hut. thor? TfS also a contfaetion in the number of buying Orders. A little more activity was shown in the local building society shares, bccause of the dividend distribution pending, but why;.., gas shares, which stand in the same position; should be neglected is difficult to understand. Bank shares were quiet, and displayed an easing tendency. National Bank-shares were a shilling lower, and were offered "at -05 'Ssi; Now Zealands were on sale at ,£9 15s. Insurance shares, were neglected. National _ Insurance shares wcto' oil ther-market 'at' 9dj, but there were no'declared buyers, financial shares exhibited somo activity, with buyers'pf Equitable Building at 2s. Bd.,'Wellington Trust and Loan at £1 18s. Gd., and New Zealand . and River Plato at 29a. Sd. -There, -were, 'sellers of Wellington- Investment" at"'l2sl v 3d.?

Feilding Gas shares were'offered, at 175.. 6d., and Napier Gas at £'15 and J515 10s. for the respective issues. Meat shares were unchanged. There were bids of J3lO-'l2s.; 6d. for Christchurch Meat) sellers holding for' JSlO ! lss. Gears were on salo at 50s:, and Meat., Exports, third issue, at £3 ss. Gd. Westport-Stoekto'n' Coal shares, were in demand at 9s. 6d-> with sellers at 10s. Taupiri Coal shares.were offered at 20s. 3d. Union Steam slfares'" we're' wanted at '315., and there, were sellers of Wellington Woollen at .£3 10s.', D.I.C. preference: at iBl 3g.'< 3d., Leyland-O'Brien Timber at; 45s. 1 Gd.',; and Sharland's Ordinary at 18s. 9d. Wellington Patent Slip shares were in demand at £4 135., or 3s. above the price at which 90 per of. the shares had been sold to the Union; S.S. Company. , ■ " THE MINING MARKET,. ; ' The market ; has been free' from, sensational movements, "a -quiet hilt steady buSiness-being done, mostly in Talisman shares. Yesterday the entire business was confined 1 to Talismans, which advanced .to-£1 ,125.. Gd. .-.The..,mining quotations yesterday wore-as'.under:— Buyers.- Sellers. ;.-Sales., • .. .-, jG's.' d...

'v.." 187,000 Tho quantity to bo offered, this month is much larger ■ th'an" in previous years, due to, early shipping from Australia: This increase is. in itself sufficient to depress values, for it gives the bears an excuse for dropping. the. prices. " A good deal. of • interest centres round' the prospects of the market at ;the. sale,, in this city to-morrow. The tone of tho Canterbury sale is no guide for us, because a differ- , ent class of wool is marketed in tho Cathedral City. The sale at Auckland a day. or. ago was extremely, unsatisfactory, and here .again it is a question of the class of wool marketed.. The Auckland district produces crossbred wool, and.it is this grade of wool that is most affected. .Merino wool will sell at a.,price, but there is no immediate prospect of seeing the high prices that were" ruling in , the;, earlier part of last year. The exports of wool from Australasia, from July ■ Ito December 31,1907, which is the firpt) half of', the statistical wool year, shows that' there was an increase of 85,079 bales. From- Australia' thcro was an increase of 88,710 bales, but from New Zealand there was a decrease of *631' bales. The figures, as. r compiled by Messrs. Dalgety and Company, are- as wider• ' 1907." : Inc. Dec.. State. Bales,,.

A clearing-house for mortgages ha 3 been founded at the instigation of the German Imperial Bank at Bsrlin. Thirty of the largest institutions on this line of business have agreed to meet on fixed; days for settling their now investments and receipts'by-balancing the Thole and taking each other's cheque for the surplus due. More important still is : " a *iicw' branch of business opened by the German Imperial Bank. When "mortgages are to change hands, the bank olTers to act as a trustee for receiving the documents in good time for the new lender.to examine, them, accepting, the purchase money and - paying an equivalentamount on the samci day to the previous creditor. By facilitating this simultaneous operation, the.Uss of interest and the expense of transmitting large sums of money from one place to another will be avoided. As on the Quarter days many millions were, being moved . lor the -readjustment of mortgages,, a e'evtairi, stringeney of the money market, was the result of thess:transactions'.' , l l 'hnt-..will,':.be avoided from February' lof this yenr, when- the new system will have been inaugurated.

The directors add that they have been successful in securing additional agencies for- next year in the colonies and the Argentine, which .they hope tfill have 'the effect of increasing th,; turnover by about 40 to 50 per 'cent., so that tbo outlook in decidedly encouraging.
