’Change Activity Well Maintained
[Special to “Northern Advocate''] AUCKLAND, This Day.
With only another day’s trading—the Exchange closes tomorrow —activity is well maintained, and at this morning’s call a big list of sales was put through. A feature of the fresh bidding was a firming in Australian metal shares—the natural reaction to yesterday’s advances in the London prices of lead and copper. Higher quotations ruled for Broken Hill. Proprietary, Broken Hill Souths, Mt. Lyells, and North Broken Hill. Among local industrials, Wilsons Cement gained 3d with a sale at 18/3, and more wanted at the rise. Business was less active at the noon call, but the firm tone of the market was maintained.
Sales completed al the noon call today were: — South British, £2/8/-; Broken Hill Proprietary, £4/G/3; Bycroft's, £l/18/; Cox Bros., 8/9; Taranaki Oilfields, 5/-; Mt. Lyells, £l/13/3.
