TO-DAY’S QUOTATIONS

v \ SOUTHERN EXCHANGES t SATURDAY’S SALES Press Association Wellington.—New Zealand Brewery (bonds), 255. Dunedin.—Commercial Bank, 30s 5d (two parcels); National Insurance (ex div.), 16s 6d; Dalgety and Company (ex div.), £ls 4s. EXPORT LAMB PRICES OPENING RATES ANNOUNCED The opening prices fox* the 1925-29 season for lamb on the hooks at the freezing works announced on Friday are:— Up to 361 b., 9£d a lb. 361 b. to 421 b., 9d. Over 421 b. and seconds, Sid. For the first time on record Auckland rates are on a par with those ruling in Hawke’s Bay and Wellington. Lambs have been offering here for the past three weeks, but the works are not expected to be running at full capacity for another week or so yet. In the majority of instances the lambs handled to date this season have netted the seller more than the published schedule rates, and it is not expected that many will be sold on an “on-the-hooks** basis at any time during the season. Farmers for the most part prefer to deal at so much a head in the paddock. FEILDING STOCK SALE Press Association FEEDING, /Saturday.

The Government’s attempt to levy an additional income tax assessment of £6.000,000 against the original stockholders in the Ford Motor Company has definitely been abandoned. APPLES FOR GERMANY N.Z. FRUIT WANTED Press Association DUNEDIN, Sunday. Advocacy of a proposal to ship New Zealand apples direct to Hamburg is being continued by Mr. A. Moritzon, who has received an encouraging letter from Messrs. J. L. Lutten and Son, fruitbrokers, of Hamburg, in which the writer states:— •‘New Zealand business in apples seems to be now going the right way. We will probably get a direct service of* one or two steamers for the coming season. The New Zealand style of packing is popular and well known, being the same as the American, and we hope to handle quite a lot of this next season. The entry duty is reduced from 15 marks to seven marks a 100 kilo, and this will be a help in obtaining good results.’*
