Following is a list of yesterday's transactions on New Zealand Stock Exchanges. In tho second column is given the return, based ori tho last annual dividend, from investment at the quoted price. In the case of Government and other redeemable securities no return is given, in view of the new method of quotation, but the months in which interest is due are shown. In calculating the return on shares in companies which pay their dividends outside New Zealand exchange rates, being liable to fluctuation, have not been taken into consideration.
