Dutiug the last week business t'.encnlly lm?» been steady, and prices remain as i.ist tjnoted. In tho stock and share market busiius?has been very quiet, and in Fume instance* a fall in prices has hid to be submitted to, although the reports from Uie mine* have not been of an uuHsitn-facloiy narure. In Priuce Imnerialf, shares which sf<»oa at 62s Gd last week Were sold yesterday at 4S>, with buyers at 43* Gd and tollers at 45'. For Southern Cross and D>;ep Levels there has been a better deiuaud, at«d the market has he d fiiin for these shaies. Bank of New Zealand arealmos--1 neglected, owing to attention being dirtcted : almost solely to mining transactions. Several j sale", however, are reported at £'2o 5d ; whilst Fisher and Co.'s have ako changed hauds at lis 9d. In Auckland Gas shaies srfles wero made at £8 ss, sellers £S 7s Gd. In the produce market there is little to report, business during the week having be*n contiued to local trauK.ictions. Butter is still very plentiful, and prices, if anything, have a downward tendency, whilst egi*a are still very rtcnrce, and are not obtainable under Ik 3d wholesale ; iet*il. Is Gd. A wtdco.ne supply of plums and apricots were received during the week, ami were readily bought up, the supply being very meagre. Of other fruits except oranges and strawberries the market is still very bare, and there is every prospect of it contiQuiug so for some time yet. In kauri gum, operations during the week have been steady, at unchanged quotations. Building material is still firm, and it is reported that a rise is likely to take place early in tho ensuing week. In the flour market there is little to report, sales only being effected to meet present requirements. Bakers are still not inclined to do t.ny business of a speculative nature. The arrivals during the week were the 3.5. Arawiia from Melbourne, s.s. Wairarapa from Sydney, the Golden Isle from Suva, the Magellan Cloud from Oamaru, and Welcome from Lytteltou. By the latter two vessels wero received 29GG sucks oats and G2B sacks wheat The Hermiono has cleared for London with a cargo valued at £47,405, of which 534 bales wool cou tributes £12,054, and 352S cases gum £18,324.
