STOCKS AND SHARES.

THE AUCKLAND EXCHANGE. QUIETER TONE EXISTS, The market on the Auckland Stock Exchange yesterday opened practically on the previous day's levels, but a weakor tone became evident as the day pro- | eressed. The margin between buyers and I sellers of Australian stocks widened, and J most of tho business was in securities | with head* offices in New Zealand. In the banking group Commercials of Australia were active on a steady market, which weakened slightly toward tho close. English, Scottish and Australian sold during tho day at £5 16s, but weakened at tho closing call to sell at £5 1.3s 6d. New Zealands held very firm. Unions lost 2s to sell ut £9 17s. No business was recorded in the insurance section, but buyers' quotations were mostly firmly maintained. A buyer appeared at the mid-day call at 21s for Goldsbrough-Morts, but sellers at the current price of 22s 6d were not supported at the close. Wellington Investment Trust saw tho first sale since August. New Zealand Breweries were very firm at late rates. Tho miscellaneous section was a little erratic. Australian stocks were mostly weak, but the majority of NeW Zealand shares held late quotations.
