Paper mill shares are not so active this week. Annandales remain about last week's figure. Bergvik debentures have improved a point and business has been done at 1041, but the closing quotation is 100 to 1014. Bury (Gigg) are just easier for both ordinary and pref. North of Ireland are easier, and rather sellers for choice. Star remain firm, and rather buyers, for all classes, but there are a few ordinary offering at 8§. There has been business done in debentures at £102 10s., and now this price is rather bid, therefore the price scores £1 up on last week's quotation. Waterlow and Sons 6 per cent. noncumulative def. are 10s. better, 23-25, with business in the preferred ordinary at 14. Roach Bridge wanted 4.

The chemical market remains unique in regard to its vitality. Brunner Monds are fairly steady with very little change to note, the new are perhaps down for choice, but the 7 per cent. cum. preference are quite Castnerup and have been done at 18. Kellners are rather in demand, and are 1s. better, business having been done at 23s. Electrolytic Alkali are 6d. easier, but as there appears to be some extensive buying likely on the part of good men we may see these higher in a week or so. Salt Union 6d. easier, United but not much business. Alkali's have been the most active market, and have been done as high as 75s. but close this (Wednesday) evening round 70s. We shall doubtless see many fluctuations in these shares during the present account as the preliminary statement is due before its close.
