Bank shares were extremely dull, the only inquiry being for New Zealand, which sold firmly at 45s 6d, more being wanted at that price.

Wellington Gas were weaker at 34s 3d, sellers 355. New Zealand Insurance advanced to 63s 3d without response. Industrial issues were very dull, and mostly on the easy side.
