Offers for South British, following publication of tho company's balance-sheet, moved up from 64s 6d to 65s 3d, but sellers did not quoto. The loan and agency and coal groups were fairly steady. Fanners' Co-operative Auctioneerings wero done, ex div., 8s cheaper at 82s. Pukeniiros were weaker and sold 23 6d easier at 70s.
