DUNEDIN~ Donedin, January The holidays have to some extent interiered with business. Very few transactions have taken place, and those have not been very extensive, merely supplying local wants. Shippers do not nee their way to operate at the late quotations, though if holders Were inclined to quit at prices affording them a margin the few on hand could readily be placed. The fact must not be lost sight of that the quantity for disposal is not by any means extensive, and the indi» cations are that the small supply left will not be more than sufficient for requirements.
