-• ♦ BroiKESs on the stock and share market did 1 not assume a very brisk appearance yester- 1: day, the demacd for shares being exceedingly X limited. Parcels of Prince Imperials are y reported as having changed hands at 43s to P 45b, Southern Crosses at 22s 6d to 235, and £ Deep Levels at 3s 4d to 3s 6d.

K The directors of the >?ew Prince Imperial, J G.M. Co. met yesterday, and it was re- '„ solved that a dividend of 7s per share be declared. This amount of dividend, which represents a sum of over £6000, is, we C think, most satisfactory, and goes far to A prove that the mine is a moat excellent one. £ pie final cleaning up at the battery will not T be finished until this evening, but the direc- 1] tora have sufficient gold ou hand to warrant them in declaring the above dividend. Tho dividend is payable on the Sth instant. The following calls were made yesterday : —NewiNorth Devon, Is; Alburnia, 2s CJ : Southern Cross Petroleum, -2d.
