SHARE REPORT,

Hears, Benjamin and Potta, in their share report dated Friday, the 17th of August, 1917, utata :--- During the past week our local market has undergone another period of dallases, with very little business doing. The extraordinary rapid advance in exchange; a rise of four pence since our last report, has had rather demoralising effect all round, and the general uncertainty as to what may happen in this direction has temporarily put a stop to business. Investment stocks can be had in many olene somewhat lower than quoted rates, holdere being anxious to avail themselves of the high exchange, buyer on the other hand holding cf, hoping to buy cheaper later on. The Shanghai market is in much the same state. There the rise in exchange has been even more rapid. than here, and basinsa in practically at a standstill.
