STOCKS AND SHARES

THE AUCKLAND EXCHANGE STEADY TONE MAINTAINED A firm tone was maintained on the Auckland Stock Exchange yesterday, and the volume of investment business was of easier dimensions. Government loans continued to command strong support without any requirements being met. Steady conditions ruled in banks. Commercials of Australia were secured unaltered at 14s. Offers were lifted 3d to 46s 3d for New Zealands, the improved inquiry being met with a further advance by holders, who moved up 2d to 46s 6d. In insurance another advance was registered in South British, which moved up 6d on sale at 54s 6d, leaving the market bare of supplies. Slightly better interest was maintained in other sections. Activity developed in New Zealand Breweries, in which an advance of 7d was registered in business at 24s lid, followed by a firmer transaction at 255. Tooth's also met with firmer support. Few notable movements occurred in general investments. Unchanged rates were realised for British Tobaccos, which changed hands at 28s, more being forthcorning at that price. New Zealand Refrigeratings were done at 12s, a fall of 3d, and the contributing issue was released 4d lower at 4s sd. Mining shares were not very active, but buyers continued to predominate in the section. Easier levels were established for Golden Dawns, which were done at 4s 9A(I and 4s Bd, a decline of lOd at the lower price. Golden Points had sale unaltered at 6£d, and King Solomons weakened to in business, at Is lOd and Is lid. For Kawaraus holders asked a penny moro at 7d, buyers remaining steady at 3d.
