WELLINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE. [BY TELEGRAPH.— COMtESrOXnKNT.] Wellington, Tuesday. The outstanding feature of the Stock Exchange transactions to-day was the weaker tone in mining scrip, prices being lower. Thames issues all show a tendency to decline, and a number of speculators who "bought forward delivery parcels a few weeks back do not now look like having the " thick end of the stick." May Queens, Saxons, and Royal Oaks were all noticeably easier. The sales*at 3.15 p.m. yesterday were: Crown, 7s Bid (Q: New Sylvia, 3s lid (C); Royal Oak, 2s BJd (R); Waihi Grand Junctions, £2 13s, £2 13s (R). At 10 a.m. to-day: New Sylvia. 3s lid (O; Reliance, 6d (C); Royal Oak, 2s 8d (R); Tairua Broken Hills, 3s 2d (10; Waihi Grand Junction, £2 12s 9d (R). At noon to-day: Bride of Waihi, is 3d (C); Talisman Consolidated, £2 17s (CD; Waihi, £9 9s (R); Waihi Extended. 8s (C). Sales are indicated by C and reported sales by R. DUNEDIN STOCK EXCHANGE.
