THE SHARE MARKET

' DUNEDIN STOCK EXCHANGE. A very quiet tone prevailed on the Dunedin Stock Exchange yesterday, neither buyers nor sellers showing much desire for business. A buyer offered 28s 6d for New Zealand Insurance without attracting a Seller, and although firm prices were offered for War Bonds, in only one case was a selling quote recorded.
