The "demand was generally poor, but buying quotations were mostly steady. Government loans had a fair inquiry, but the quoted offers failed to attract.holders. No interest was shown in local body debenBanks were neglected, the only offers being £3O/10/- for New South Wales, and 26/5 for New Zealand D mortgage shares. New Zealand ordinaries were available at 40/3, and Commercial of Australia at 16/10. Industrials were quiet and steady. Australian Consolidated Industries finned to 41/3, sellers asking 43/6. €>thers showed little change. There was a complete lack of buying support for mining shares.
