SOUTH WALES FINANCE. (Cardiff Account Day, Sept. 29th.) SATURDAY, September 24th, 1898. There has been very little business indeed stirring in the local market to-day, but in view of the quiet week, the political unrest, and stagnant character of the coal trade through scarcity of tonnage, the reverse could hardly have been expected. Gilt-edged securities are inclined to be weaker all round as a consequence of the raising of the Bank rate and general indisposition to enter into either specula- tive or investment business at the moment. Both Rails and Coal Shares are a decidedly idle market at the moment. A few Barry Allotments have been done within the range of 45-6 add. prem., which is a fractionally better price, but the Undivided, Deferred, and Pre- ferred Stocks are, if anything, easier. Port Talbot Ordinaries are slightly harder at 9%, but Rhymney Preferred has given way 1, to 121. London and Provincial Banks have been done at 21%. which is about better, and Lloyds at 31%, the middle price. Spillers' Nephews continue on the down grade. Business has been done in them to-day at 5, and the quotation has dropped to that level. The report just issued confirms the opinion taken by the market for the !ast fortnight. The Mining Market has been quiet and featureless to-day. The following changes in value are aoted in the official list of the Cardiff Stock Exchange :— Rise—Port Talbot Ordinary to 9%. Fall—Rhymney Preferred 1, to 121; Spillers' Nephews to 5%, Messrs Thackeray and Co. note the following changes :— Rise-Barry Allotments 1, to 46 add. prem.; Cambrian Railway No. 2 4 per Cent. Preference Stock 1, to 31%; New- port Water Annuities to 26- Fall—Spillers' Nephews 34, to 5. There are buyers of Main Colliery Shares London Hippodromes Barry Deferred Taff Ordinary; Anthony Birrell, Pearce and Co.'s Debenture; Rhondda and Swansea Bay Preferences; Park Hall Debentures Spillers' and Bakers' Preferences. There are sellers of London and Pro- vincial Banks; Rhondda Valley Brewery Preferences; Barry Deferred and Allot- ments Vale of Glamorgan Stock Taff Preference Stock; Nottingham Empire Preferences Rhondda and Swansea Bay Preferences Spillers' Nephews Ordinary and Preferences s.s. Afonwen Shares; Rhymney Preferred Cardiff Empire Ordin- ary; Glamorgan Bill Posting P. and A. Campbell's Ordinary Cardiff Empires Sharpness Ordinary Stock; Rhymney Iron Old and New Shares. The report of the directors of Spillers' Nephews Biscuit Co., Ltd., is as follows:— The directors, in submitting their second report, have to record a loss on the year's trading of t7,532 Is 6d. They regret that the transactions of the company have shown so disappointing a result. It has, however, been considerably brought about by the dislocation of their local trade for about one-half of the period under review. Of the 5,000 Preference Shares authorised a.t the last general meeting, 1,400 have been applied for and issued. Messrs Joseph Allen and W. E. Nicholls retire by rotation, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Last year's loss amounted to £4817, so that the total loss for the two years stands m the accounts at £12,349.
