Commerce

Refrigerating Shares WOOLWORTHS STEADY New Zealand Refrigerating shares were very firm on the Dunedin Stock Exchange yesterday, buyers offering the figure of the last sale, 39s 6d, with sellers Is away, but probably willing to come halfway. The contributing issue was similarly firm, the offer of 18s lOd (again the last sale figure) being matched by a seller at 19s 3d. The buyers of Oamaru Woollen and Wilson Malt were also offering " last sale prices ” (42 s 6d and 32s 6d) without securing their requirements. Huddart Parker preference had their first local deal in months when two parcels were traded at 27s 3d to give a face yield of £4 7s 3d per cent, without taking into account the exchange loss on Australian currency. Electrolytic Zinc preference sold higher at 70s, blit Woolworths, New Zealand, were steady at 25s 9d.
