Australasias were offered at £11 7/6 and Unions at £9 2/6. Commercials were definitely firmer, with buyers at 17/4, and no seller. Other Australian stock also showed an improvement, £1 being offered for Goidsbrough, Morts, £1 11/6 for British Tobacco, and 17/10 for Mount Lyells. \ sale of New Zealand Breweries £2 5/ was recorded, with "still a buyer.
