MELBOURNE Great Boulder had the spotlight; selling early at 1140, the shares dropped sharply on the announcement of the high premium of 425 on the new 25c share issue. The market reached a day’s low of 700 and finished 390 lower at 780. Virtually the whole mining list declined with the few rises being only minor moves. Main losers were G.M.K., 40 to 145; Loloma. 85 to 350: and North Kalg., 75 to 240. Western Mining rose early to SO5O then closed 30 lower at 2920. Oils were easy, mostly losing around 10c except Woodside which gained 12 to 180. Industrials continued to ease led by B.H.P down 50 at 1570 and Peko 30 to 612. Fails exceeded rises by a wide margin.
