Market Uncertain In Narrower Trading
Trading followed an uncertain trend over a narrower front yesterday with further falls by Broken Hill Proprietary and Commercial Bank of Australia. New Zealand issues were steadier, but Australian stocks were again weak. Consolidated Plastics made the best upward move of the day with a recovery of Is 6d to 445. Hay’s weakened further with a Id fall to 18s Id—a new low level and Is 7d below this year’s opening price. E.Z. Industries moved up 2d to 20s 6d, while Waltons rose a further 3d to a 1966 peak of 8s 6d. C.B.A. eased 4d more to 18s 2d and 8.H.P., reflecting the easier market in Australia, another 3d to 41s 6d, with sales in Wellington at 41s 3d and in Auckland at 41s. B.H.P. closed in Christchurch at 40s 6d buy, 41s sell.
