COMMERCIAL Firmer Start To Last Share Trading Week

The last week of New Zealand share trading for 1963 opened yesterday on a slightly firmer note, but the strengthening was by New Zealand shares; overseas shares were just about in balance.

Best gains among the New Zealand shares were made by Christchurch Building, Credit and Finance and Cyclone Industries, all ex dividend, and Feltex, Ivon Watkins, K.P. Drug B, Northern Roller, Tasman and Carbonic Ice. Most movements by overseas issues were narrow.
