There was a firmer inquiry for English, Scottish and Australian in response to a concession by sellers and Nationals of New Zealand were also sought at a higher rate. 1 he demand was easier for New South Wales in spite of a pending dividend payment. In the insurance group a sale of New Zealands 6d lower at 56s reflected the easier tone of the market.
