There is no reason to fear that any part of the Exhibition will be incomplete on the opening day, with the possible exception of a fenBritish and French exhibits, despatch of which has been delayed by the dock strike. A reliable cable message has been received here from London announcing the sale of a considerable parcel of Bank of New Zealand shares three days ago at Ll3 10s, LlO paid up.
