Trading was quiet. Swallow and Ariells featured with a rise to 69s following Australian Biscuit Company’s offer to purchase the remaining shares at 70s after they had made a deal to buy Nabisco’s holding . at that figure. Base metals and oils continued to drift lower. A.0.G., however, recovered to 295. Loans were steady.

Contracts for three fast cargo liners each of over 10,000 tons dead-weight and worth altogether more than £6m, have been placed here by the New Zealand Shipping Company. Announcing this, the shipbuilding firm of Bartram and Sons said here today that the liners would be full-refrige-rated and designed for the carriage of frozen cargo, liquid cargo and general cargo.

Of the three contracts, one is for delivery late 1965 and the other two late 1966.
