DUNEDIN STOCK EXCHANGE,

The maiket was again quiet on Monday, and comparatively little business was done, buyers being apparently disinclined to advance on their previous quotations. The river is falling rapidly, and was 3ft 4in above the normal mark, and the weather was frosty.

For the purpose of showing the alterations in the market during the past week we make a ehort review of a few of the principal stocks. The Alexandra Lepd dredge is now proving her clPiai to be exceedingly rich, and as a consequence the shaies are steadily advancing. On Monday week sales were made at 63 3d, while th& closing quotations were 63 3d and 6s 4id, and additional transactions wero recorded at 6s ljd, Gs 3d, and 63 €d en Thursday, at 63 9d aud 7s on Friday, at 7s on Saturday, and at 7s 3d on Monday, three parcels changing hands at that figure, while more inquiries were made at the same price, but sellers closed at 7s 4Jd. The preference shares were sold at 21s 6d and 22s on Thursday, while the latest buying offer is 23s 6d, without any sellers. As the information regarding the raiding of the Bencligo ladder has been of a varied nature, tho shares have in consequence fluctuated a good deal. Sales were made at 7s on Tuesday, at 7s and 7s 6d on Wednesday, at 9s, 10s, and 9s Gd on Thursday, at 8s 6d,~ Bs, and 7s 6d on Friday, and at 6s on Monday, when the closing quotations were 5s 6d and 6s-9d. Electrics weakened all last week, but recovered on Monday afternoon, when buyers were in the market at 36s with sellers at 375. Endeavours have hardened a little, but Gold Kings have eased a shade. Sales of the latter took placo at 3s 9d on Thursday and Monday, and the latest offer from buyers is 3s 9d, sellers asking 4a 3d. Golden Rivers were sold at 5s on Monday week, when more shares were in demand at that price, holders closing at 5s 3d, and further transactions took place at 5s on Wednesday, at 4s 6d on Friday, and at 4s 7Jd on Monday, more buyers being in the market at the last-named price, with sellers at Bs.
