Peko-Wallsend went exrights and closed at 450 c. It was 540 c on Friday. Poseidon, W.M.C. and Central Norseman were unchanged. Woodside-Burmah shed 2c at 141 c and Ampol and Weeks were both 3c lower. Santos sold 2c lower at 92c but A.A.R. held its ground. B.H.P. managed a 2c gain at 834 c. Myers was also marginally higher. Aust. Guarantee, C.S.R., Mainline and Comalco were firm but the C.B.A. plunged 13c to 325 c and Waltons eased 8c to 150 c. E.Z. Industries. T.N.T., Amatil and C.U.B. also drifted lower, and Leighton shed 7c at. 64c. SYDNEY Sales.—Amatil, 240; Ampol. 60; Ansett, 74; A.W.A., 135; Assoc.
