TRADING AGAIN QUIET.

WELLINGTON SHARE MARKET. Business was again quiet on the Wellington Stock Exchange yesterday, and the turnover was restricted. Apart from Government loans, for which tho demand was keen, the market was quiet. Prices showed little change, and quotations were generally steady. Most of the listed Government stocks were wanted, but sellers were hard to find. Bank, financial, and insurance shares showed little quotable change. Tho market for industrial issues was dull.
