Commercials of Australia had sale at the current price, 21s 3d, with offers for more Id firmer than on Thursday at 21s Id. New Zealands changed hands again at 58s, which price was offered for more without success. A riso of Is 6d was registered by Unions, which wero dono at £ll 17s 6d. Offers for Australians of Commerce and English, Scottish and Australians wero a shade better. There was no change in insurance. Movements in loan and agency wero of littlo importance. In coals Renown ordinaries advanced Is with salo at 15s, at which level further supplies wero available. In gas Aucklands were in firmer demand at 25s without attracting sellers. The contributing issue made a currentprico salo at 18s 6d. More business was done in general investments.
