Retail shares sought on active Aust, market

Retail issues continued to lead the sharemarket upward'in relatively active trading on Australian stock exchanges yesterday.

Most of these issues rose to new peaks for the year, with Waltons and Myers rising 4c each to 109 c and 181 c respectively. 1.A.C., Aust. Guarantee, Lend Lease, C.U.8., Elders G.M., and Bora! were other top industrial performers. But B.H.P. fell slightly to 710 c and Comalco and Pioneer Sugar also made rare downward adjustments.

Coal issue Utah was back at its best peak of 910 c but A. Thiess and Oakbridge were sold down a little. Oil shares succumbed to profit-taking after the recent upsurge, with WoodsideBurmah falling 2c at 98c. Gold issues G.M.K. and Emperor were actively sought, with G.M.K. rising 8c to 98c. C.R.A. rose 4c to 208 c and Great Boulder 2c to 78c. Cudgen was marginally firmer at 77c but Bougainville, B.H. South, M.1.M., Peko-Wallsend and W.M.C. showed minor losses.
