C. fell 15c to 360 c as 11 million shares traded in Melbourne at 345 c ahead of the proposed voluntary windup of B.H. South.
Gold stocks firmed, with Central Norseman 20c up at 780 c. Oil and gas issues were mixed. The industrial sector was particularly quiet. Banks and retailers firmed while transport stocks were steady.
