STOCKS AND SHARES

THE AUCKLAND EXCHANGE MARKET MORE IRREGULAR Business was well maintained on the Auckland Stock Exchange yesterday, but the market was a little irregular. New Zealand Insurance gave way after their recent exceptional rise, and threo parcels were secured 6d cheaper at 725. Other .Dominion leaders were steady. Several gains in the front-rank Australian scrip revealed the more favourable turn which developed this week, but the tendency later yesterday was easier.
