Business on tho sharemarkot was active again yesterday, particularly in raining. '■'.< ■'■':■ lines. In standard stocks the only sales fell' ported were in New Zealand Portland Cements (new) at 16s and 16s 6d. In mining ; r ,\Yaihis wero firm, with sales at £9 3s 3d to 'I £9 3s 6d, sellors closing at tho latter figure. t • with buyers at £9 3s 3d. Talismans were, a shade easier, selling at 42s' 3d, at whioh / price more wore looked for, sellers asking '- ■ 425. 6d. Freo sales took place in Grand /V Junctions, over 2000 changing hands at the •<■ " first call. Prices obtained wore from 36s 9d to 37s to 36s 9d to 37s to 35s 6d to 35s 9d to 35 3 6d, sellers closing at 35s 9d, buyers at ■ 35s 6d. Waihi Exteudods sold at 3s 6d and 3s 4d. May Queens again had good demand, 'and several parcels sold at 2s 8d to 2s 9d i ■"' to ; 2s Sd, with lato sellers at 2s 8d and buyI ■ " ers at 2s 7d. There were also free sales in / ." New Sylvias, which eased, selling.from 2s '-'•■" 6d to 2s 3d, with closing buyers at 2s 2d and sellers at 2s 4d.

Kings (con.) at sd. a: The volumuo of business handled by the ? ; wholesale distributing merchants is maintained at a satisfactory level, and as orders -;■ will soon bo placed for Christmas supplies, ? : . '■■ prospects of continued briskness are good. '■}"••• Inquiries ore being made for early arrivals of fruits, and wo should not bo surprised if requirements have been under-estimated. The majority of tho retail establishments •have opened'up their summer shipments, and it only requires a continuauco of tho -;■ f warm weather to ensure brisk demand for seasonable articles of apparel. Salmon: The mail just to hand notifies very freo buying for tho American domestic -•-. demand, with buoyant inquiry from the English market; under tho circumstances the ■-: balance of the now pack will bo closed at ' enhanced figures, which will probably bo re- ' fleeted in the local market before long. •ji'.v--' - ' Canned Fruits: Prices for the new pack '■',"'"'. ' of American aro likely to movo up, and with a -good inquiry locally it is expected that '.';. tho whole of the new pack will shortly bo I '! . bought up. Sardines: It is understood that the result , of" tho recent .fishing has not been at. all satisfactory, and supplies for the coming ; ; season will bo in limited compass with con: sequent higher prices. (Dream of Tartar:. Notification of an adTanco is looked for, present, prico being , lower than for a good many years. Dates: Demand for bulk on the spot is • •■' in excess of the supply, and no further , arrivals aro looked for until the end of November at earliest. Cartons aro "in full sup- . plv, with limited demand. ! . Evaporated Apricots: Recent arrivals have | quickly gone, into consumption; forward] ■%■'&. -market firmer. ■"■.'.■-' , ' Prunes: New crop arrivals are anxiously ,» awaited, supplies on the spot being insuffi-; ; cient to meet demand. . _ ... • Seeded Raisins-. Forward markot is easier; ; Spot holdings are now moving more freely. !. Cocoa Beans: Present indications point to lower figure ruling for th© new crop - Ceylons. with probable sympathetic movement in Trinidads. Coffco Beans: American varieties are pret- i ty well cleaned up, and higher values . are '■:.„. being realised. - Linseed Oil: A firming movement is lookid for in the near future. .'•■'■'■. Castor Oil: Price for next direct sailing , remains unchanged. .'■■,'■■-.'•, e 'j|:";v: Whitelead: Market steady on basis of last quotation, and operations • at current figures sfibj; would seem to be fairly safe. ;■■!.'■■■"■ v ■.' ./ • ' ' Clothes Pegs: Higher figures are looked for ! shortly; spot holdings ample for all require-, 1 ■': Bents.

I ;|?;;>;!t:'.: Sheepskins: Market remains the same, "'With good competition for all offering. Tallow: No change to report. Potatoes: The arrivals by the Wimmera from South consisted of 1184 sacks, which moderate shipment on tho small ifcocks held here makes' the market only fairly well supplied, and there...\„v, i j»*'^»Vßty-.'+.|BOMihilti^j'"'. wfv:-fja-' ■ rise., taking' place before the end of the week unless the . Waitcmata puts in an appearance earlier than ; is expected. T Bluff potatoes are being offered at a low price, f.0.b., but merchants are-! afraid to operate so lata in the season, their experience of last year being anything but a pleasant one. Price, ex wharf, to-day •, is £5 10s, and ex store £5 15s. ,'. Onions:, The Califomians by the Gyraerie . are nearly all cleared out, and the price to-" | day is £18 to £20 pep ton. The next boat j . only brings a small shipment, so that it looks | ■ as if onions are going to be scarce until the ~ i. end of November, when the early Australians will be on the market. •. Oats: The firmness in the South has bad j / a slight effect on this market, and prices .here are hardening. Holders are asking 2s bd ex wharf, and 2s 7d ex store. Stocks are I getting rather light. _■■ \. ■■'■ j Chaff: The demand is very good. , Stooks in Auckland are low, but every, boat from j .the South brings small shipments, which tend to keep things going. The quality of - the late arrivals is excellent. Price to-day 13 £6 5s for Southern; prime local being : worth' £5 15s. ' . Fowl Wheat: There is a very firm market In'the South, and supplies are rather difficult ; to' obtain. A slight rise has-taken place " here, holders now asking 4s lOd. '.-■■'■ Maize i The Aupouri brought 10' sacks, and Jhe Tasman 206 sacks from the coast. These email supplies have tended towards keeping ' the market firm. The price remains at 4s &d -■■•■■•■•■-•..■. I r Bran: There has been no alteration in the j price, which remains at £5 7s 6d, but there j is Very little business doing, and stocks are j ample. Pollard: The demand for this is falling off, and with fair supplies th© market has .weakened; price now is 5s lower, being £7 2s'6d per ton, * • i- Prussian Blue Peas: The demand still continues good. Stocks are running down; •; ' price 6s 6d. ■ ■ .. ■ •■'*'' "■." ■; '.' , • .Fungus: Fair quantities are coming for- > ward, and with an easier market price has declined to 4|d for. dry parcels. Flax: The deliveries for the five days of 'Oclcber are 96 bales, equal to about 19 tons. There is very little business doing locally, ' and the outlook is anything but promising. , London advises a weaker market, ,with heavy .'■ lupplies of Manila coming forward.

' The selection was hardly as good as we have if ■-■■;-'J.- 1 :!;-', been having, but contained a few fine teas. ..' Good quality sorts wero hardly up to the i mark, and there was consequently a little ■•'■-. irregularity in the biddings for these, but we ■ '. tannot quote a decline. . Common to medium . kinds have come into strong inquiry, and '.-'. 'he former may be quoted at id to gd dearer. '. . , Ihis is due to advice of a stronger market in London, coupled with prospects of. shorter lupplies than were expected from India and • Ceylon. Tho local inquiry is very strong, , ■ ■ *nd wo expect to see prices dearer. Fanning 3 : and dusts are also in strong demand at •slightly increased prices. The market has . closed for the tea traders' holidays. Indian Tea: At the Calcutta tea sales, :, No. 14, the offerings were heavy, aggregating nearly 31,000 packages. Quality was ■''.■:,"■ similar to what has recently been seen, and . .nothing attractive was included. Common grades, both leaf and broken, re- ■ ■ ' wived more attention, and were dearer to ;. ' '-he extent of a couple of pie, while mediums, though selling somewhat irregularly, brought i:• about former values, the poorer lines being ' »t times easier to buy. Anything good realised full prices, and flavoury fannings and ousts were again taken for tho Hankow de- •. oand at high figures. • ■-;•.•■•' • }. v"' ' KAURI GUM. 'The arrivals for six days of October are 83 tons, which makes the shortage for tho Wonth 20 tons, in comparison with same Period of last year, when 119 tons came forward.

At Arapohue on the 23rd ult., there was a good muster; bidding was dull, excepting for good quality steers, for which there was brisk competition; buyer and seller came together after the sale, and a large number of cattle changed hands- at. satisfactory prices. •At Eaupo, more than tho advertised number again came forward, and wo report a successful sale. 'At Manngaturofco, we had a good yarding, including some nice dairy stock from Mr. B. G. Hill's farm, which sold well; store cows and cow« with calves sold readily.
