MELBOURNE There was general easiness early and both mining and industrial falls covered a wide range of stocks. However, most leaders made some recovery to the close. The easiness was attributed to fears of British restrictions. B.H.P. recovered from a low of 1840 to dose 10 lower at 1880. Peko closed up 29 at 1050 after dipping to 920. In minings, C.R.A. lost 80 to 1290, while Great Boulder after trading down to 690 recovered sharply in the afternoon to finish 50 higher at 760. Western Mining touched 5100 and closed down 200 at 5300. In an easier oils section Ampol Exploration dropped 17 to 248. Sales.—Ampol, 116; Ansett, 62; A.R.C., 75; Assoc. Pulp. 136; A.C.U 295; A.K.
