Heavy fails again on Australian makets
Australian markets took another plunge yesterday with share prices falling'across the board in dull trading conditions. The uncertainties surrounding the eventual outcome of last week’s Federal elections continued to affect market sentiment, the traders said.
Miners led the downslide. Bougainville, Peko-Wallsend and C.R.A. recorded some of the heaviest falls in this sector. MELBOURNE Sales.— Ampol, 57, Ansett, 73; Assoc.
