The shares firmed 80c to 2160 c after touching 2200 c as the market assessed the three for 10 bonus issue. ; Industrials were slightly firmer, in spite of a 60c fall by B.H.P. to 1870 c.

In the mining section the trend was also lower, the exceptions being King Island, which firmed 40c to 1600 c and Emperor, which closed 35c better at 270 c. Sales— B.H.
