Thei;e was a strong demand for Government loans and offers for the 4 per cent issues were lifted" by about os all round. The 19-19 4 per cent bonds changed hands at £lO2 os, a rise of £1 os since November, and the 1955 issue was done 12s 6d higher at £lOl 355. An odd lot of 1946 bonds gained os on sale at £lO3 ss.
