Bank of New Zealands wore active and prices rose sharply. Dealing opened 9d higher at 46s and passed to 46s 3d, with closing business at 46s 6d, a full pain of Is 3d. The D mortgage issue also met with a better demand, and a parcel changed hands 3d higher at 27s 3d. Support for Commercials was weaker, while other overseas issues had little or no inquiry. Accommodation movements facilitated business in New Zealand Insurance. Biners made the greater concession. and sales at 59s and 59s registered a gain of 4sd. An advance in offers for South British accompanied business at the current rate. Australian industrials were quiet and business was restricted largely to New Zealand issues. Breweries attracted more buying interest and offers improved slightly. New Zealands were done 3d dearer at 52s 3d. Farmers' Trading changed hands 2d higher at fls sd, with more wanted at that price, representing a rise of Id in offers.
