New Zealand Loan and Mercantile A gency Company.

[By Elkotrio Tklegkapu — Copiiugui I .] [Per Press Association] London, December 9. The Now Zealand Loan and Mercnutile dobentucoa stoc'c 13 quoted at 88J. It is doiibtful whether the statutory meeting of the Company will bo held before January in consequent of the intervention of the Christmas holidays. [Last woek's quotation was 80, showing a very appreciable riso for this week of 2J.] Tho Qunon of October 7th gives a charming illustration of " a cosy corner at Dunodin, New Zealand." The whole of the work, it seems, was carried out by two ladios. "Miss Gothor did all the cardontry work herself, and Mrs Downie Stewait., her pupil, undertook thocarvinf — seven panels, each of adifferentpattern —and carried out in chip carving. Wood cnrvinpr, Misß Gether tells us, is only just beginning to be taken up by lady amateurs at Dunedin, who have an opportunity to practise in Miss Gother's studio." Ladies in tho colonies (remarks the Queen) are ovidenlly following with cosn interest tho artistic occupations and arrangements of their sioters in the Old Country, and (adds our contemporary) "the cosy corner of which we give an illustration is a good proof of their taste and skill."
