THE STOCK EXCHANGE. THE WEEK’S TRANSACTIONS. LESS BUSINESS DONE. There was a noticeable decline in the volume of business transacted on the stock exchanges of the Dominion during the week. Monday being a holiday made one day less for trading, but nevertheless this alone could not have accounted for the falling away in sales. Very strong conditions were maintained for Government loans, but only limited business was done. The scarcity of large size parcels of the 4 per cent, issue continues. Sales were reported in the 1939-52 31 per cent, tax free stock at £lO2 2/6. This price is cum interest payable on November 15. In the 4 per cents, business was reported in the 1940 issue at £lO2, and in the 1955's at £lOl 10/-. There is probably some nervousness among investors that the earning power of the various banks might be affected if the Reserve Bank Bill at present before Parliament becomes law. This no doubt accounts to a certain extent for the falling away in turnover of banking shares. There was a certain amount of trading done in New Zealand ordinary’s, but at lower levels, sales being reported at 45/9, 46/- and 46/3. Commercials of Australia had little inquiry ,and only an odd sale or two was reported at 16/10 and 16/11. National Banks show a further fall in price, being turned over at 83/-. E.S. and A. the only other line dealt in up to the time these notes were written, had business reported at £5 13/6 and £5 14/6, further sellers asking £5 16/-. Sales of Bank of New South Wales were offered at £34 10/-, and Unions had sellers at £lO 10/-. The insurance section was very quiet, only an odd sale or two being reported in this section. New Zealands were placed at 54/6, showing an unchanged market, and South British, cum. dividend, at 73/9, show a slightly easier tone. South British from Thursday were quoted ex dividend. Steady inquiry throughout the week for National insurances, for which 18/2 was offered, failed to attract sellers. The National Insurance Company is paying a final dividend for the year ended September 30 of 5d per share, making with the interim dividend paid last May a total of 9d per share for the year. Shares in the pastoral group were not in much demand and sales were few. Goldsbrough Morts were placed at 29/6, showing a slightly firmer market. National Mortgage B issue were asked for at 28/-. A seller came on the market with a parcel of N.Z. Loan ana Mercantile Stock (ordinary) at £66, but there were no buying quotations. Buyers for Wright, Stephenson s preference issue increased their offers to 15/- without getting any response from sellers. The meat section was quieter than usual. Southland Frozen Meats remain very firm, with buyers for all issues at last week’s rates. New Zealand Refrigerating’s fully ® rn l e , n little, being dealt in at 19/6 and 19/8. The contributing issue is slightly easier, with sales at 9/3 and 9/2. South Otago Freezing Company shares had buyers jit 92/- ex dividends
A quiet period was experienced in the mining section. Okaritos were placed at 10/7, easing later in the week to 10/3. Gillespie’s Beach remain unaltered, with sales at 2/1. This company now finds extra money is required and has decided to increase the capital of the company by £5OOO and is offering 100,000 shares at par to the present Any number not taken up will be offered to the public at the current market price. Wailiis were not active, only one sale being reported at 26/2 compared with sales at 26/3 a week ago. Grand Junctions are also easier, business being reported in them at 3/11. Mount Lyells show a decidedly easier tone, with sales at 22/10 and 22/8. Electrolytic Zincs ordinary’s have come back to 25/4. A sale of this company’s preference issue cum. dividend of 1/- a share payable on November 2 was reported at 35/-. King Solomons were quiet, only an odd sale or two being reported at 3/3J and 3/4. Waitahus were sparingly dealt in at 6/3. Freshfords remain weak, a sale going ; through at sd. Bell-Kilgours have little inquiry, one sale being reported at 1/7. BellHoopers sold during the week at 1/01 and yesterday there were further sellers at this figure. In the general section there were a number of different lines dealt. New Zealand Drugs were in fairly strong demand, several parcels changing hands at 70/- and 70/3. British Tobaccos remain steady at 37/6 to 37/8. New Zealand Guarantees were placed at 8/4 and 8/5. The market yesterday showed buyers firm at 8/4. New Zealand Breweries eased sharply to 36/-, several sales being reported at that price. Tooth’s Brewery’s were a little weaker, being turned over at 42/1. Colonial Sugars advanced to high levels in selling at £6l. A sale was reported in New Zealand Paper Mills at 28/-.

National Tobaccos had a sale at 65/and a parcel of D.I.C. preference shares cum. dividend of 6d per share, payable on November 1, sold at 24/-.

A. H. MACKRELL. STOCK AND SHARE BROKER. Member Invercargill Stock Exchange, Federal Buildings, Dee Street, Invercargill. DUNEDIN MARKETS. FOWL WHEAT FIRM. (Per United Press Association.) Dunedin, October 27. So far as the local milling wheat market is concerned there is nothing fresh to record as few offerings are now being made by growers. The fowl wheat market is firm. Holders however are not anxious to sell. This position has affected values as during the season supplies for this market have had to be drawn from Canterbury and from Southland. The shipping market is also firm in the latter province. Today’s value in Canterbury for best whole fowl wheat for shipment is 3/9 per bushel, f.0.b., sacks extra. This price is exceeded locally, the quotation here being 3/8 per bushel, ex trucks sacks extra which is equivalent to 3/104 f.o.b.s.e. Supplies are short and a fair quantity will still be required before the new season’s wheat is availValues for oats remain firm with A Gartons worth 2/3 f.o.b.s.i. and B s 2/-. There have been a number of inquiries for shipment, but the quantity of oats now held is on the light side and there are few sellers at to-day’s prices. The indications point to a less area being planted in oats this season as compared with last season. With the dry weather being experienced in the north an improvement in values is not unpected. ~ . , „ , A fair demand exists locally for chaff. Supplies have to be secured from Canterbury as local growers are not inclined to chaff their stacks at current values. Most of the sales are con-
fined to store lots at £4 5/- per ton, sacks extra. It looked as if the potato market might firm, but heavier consignments are now arriving and it is difficult to make sales. There is still apparently a fair quantity of potatoes held in the country and with an early season for new potatoes it will not be long before the demand for old tubers will have ceased. The highest quotation locally for old potatoes is £3 per ton, sacks included ex store. The overseas demand for perennial and Italian Ryegrass continues and values for these seeds remain firm. Large quantities have been sold and this will deplete the stocks held in New Zealand. The dry weather conditions in Canterbury have also helped to firm up the seed markets owing to the shortage of feed in the northern province, farmers being forced to put their stock on to paddocks which they had intended to shut off for seed growing purposes. The cocksfoot market is firm and up to 10|d per lb is being asked for certified Akaroa seed on trucks, Christchurch
The dogstail market is also firm as a fair amount of export business is being transacted in this line. Fruit Report.
Fair supplies of apples are still reaching the market from Canterbury cool stores. A few lots are also arriving from Central Otago. Bananas are in very short supply. A shipment of Samoans is expected on Tuesday next. Christchurch grown tomatoes are in better supply and the market is a little easier. A shipment of Queensland pines arrived last Saturday on the Waikouaiti. A large shipment of South Australian Valencia and Navel oranges arrived on Tuesday by the Wainui from Melbourne. The condition of most of the fruit was not of the best. The price of the oranges was fixed at the same price as that for the previous shipment. Stocks are almost out of wholesale hands and no further shipments will reach here until Tuesday fortnight.
CANTERBURY MARKETS. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, October 27. The conference of grain merchants in Wellington this week interrupted business to some extent. The markets have remained firm and there is a continuance of the export of small seeds. On an estimate, the quantity of ryegrass shipped so far this season is 800 tons. This will make a good clearance of supplies before next season’s crop comes on the market and this at present does not look as if it will be a heavy one. Ordinary quality seed is quoted up to 2/1 per bushel, good, heavy clean 2/9. Cocksfoot is worth 6d. per lb on trucks for bay’s seed and sd. for plains; Cowgrass Bd. to 9d. and White Clover lOd. to 12d. So far there has been no report of these products. A slightly better demand has come from abroad for Dogstail which is quoted at Bd. per lb, Bluff. Chewmgs Fescue has been sold for export at sd. per lb. Small lots of potatoes, mostly Dakotas, are going to Wellington, but at Auckland new potatoes are arriving in larger quantities, and the season for old potatoes is not likely to continue much longer.
WYNDHAM STOCK SALE. Messrs Dalgety & Co., Ltd. A small yarding of sheep consisting principally of fat ewes.

A large yarding of cattle included in which were a fair proportion of good store cattle, the balance being principally dairy cows and heifers. Prices for good finished cattle were firm while store cattle met with keen demand. There was a fairly good demand for any good dairy sorts close to profit, interest chiefly centring around F. & W.

The quality of the fat cattle was not up to late sales, though prices all round realized last sale rates. There was a fair entry of store steers and the market showed a slight decline on last sale.
