COMMERCIAL.

New Zealand Kesild Office, v -M £ f .'3 S- *' Monday evening. The sharemavkot was not very active"to-day. In mining lines there were sales of ,Waihi Extendeds at 7s 5d and 7s 3d, and more demand at the, latter figure at closing time. Waihi Consolidated sold at Is 5d and Is 4d, Komata Reefs at 2s 2d, and New Eclipse at sd. Waihi Grand Junctions were wanted at I 525,' with sellers at 555. In investment lines New. Zealand Insurance were in Remand at ;; £5 '3s. 3 ». / Nf* * ■■ ■■ . The price of turpentine lias declined for i; forward delivery ex Queen; Helena; to arrive. In New York the -market is reported : to be steady.' : The Mokoia has brought a large shipment of dried ; fruits, including some overdue consignments of ? the , new ' season's. . , Some ; : of these were delayed by the strike in Marseilles interfering with I the ! regular; running of the steamers that were: to bring the new fruit from the Levant, and: the ipcal market has consequently; been t loft i very 4 bare. In : Sydney stocks were also;: low,- so .that it has been impossible to secure parcels to go on with. Supplies of currants, sultana:, and ; figs are: now to hand. The chief alteration i in value is in currants, .which: are ,now offer- ■ ing, at lower prices than the extreme level readied during the scarcity of the last month or > two. " '; t l I p £i ' We have received the following from Oil* : cutta regarding . the tea - market:" Some ; 25,000 packages ' were on offer at last sale, most of which found buyers in the room. Quality her© and. there showed a slight : improvement, but, - generally speaking, h the selection was much the same as-that offered - in : the previous 'sale. There was a steady market for all .kinds exoept , the commonest, which were again difficult of sale. Good liquoring parcels sold particularly well." - ■ In castor oil it is reported that export demand has'been ? small, but - tha,t ; owing to paucity of supplies and light stocks' prices are almost unchanged. Cabled 'advices ; show the market a little firmer.
