OVERSEAS TRADING

SYDNEY Yesterday’s trading was characterised by widespread profit taking among the speculative mining and oil stocks, which tended to ease gradually downwards throughout the day. In anticipation of good news from the next assay result there was another rush for Poseidon which once agadn touched 3000 before closing at 2850, The heavy-weights were steady, with Mount Isa rising 16 to 976. The oils were easier with Genoa falling to 46. Industrials were firm. B.H.P. gaining 15 to 1420. Other leaders to improve were 1.C.1., C.S.R, and Bank of New South Wales. The closing tone was unsettled.
