Another small parcel of 3J per cent, stock, 19-Jl, sold at the unchanged price of £lOl. Amalgamated Brick (Wellington) 6 per cent, debentures were marked up to £lOl. Bank and financial issues were dull, a few buyers quoting late rates. There was a fair demand for woollen shares and other New Zealand industrial issues.
