STOCKS AND SHARES

THE AUCKLAND EXCHANGE

GILT-EDGED STOCK SOUGHT

With the exception of several fairly substantial , declines, values wero stronger in the investment markeft on the Auckland Stock Exchange yesterday. Continuing last week's trend, there was again a large number of sales. Another swing to gilt-edged stock was made evident by the full inquiry for Government loans. Holders were scarce alid sales reflected an all-round strengthening. Levels for tho ]940 4 per cent bonds were lifted 15s in dealing to £lO3, while a sale of the 1940 4: per cent stock at the same figuro established a rise of ss. The 1955 4 per cent stock advanced 7s 6d to £lO6 7s 6d. A feature of the banking section was the improvement in New Zealands. A firming in buyers' limits led to an opening transfer ljd higher at 45s 6d, and a later sale at 46s lifted rates by 7jd. New South "Wales sold 17s 6d lower at £32 os, but transfers have been made on the Sydney register at approximately this level. A slight recovery was made at jthe afternoon call, when a parcel changed hands at £32 15s. New Zealand Insurance were dealt in slightly, higher at 625. Golusbrough-Mort moved up 7d to 32s 3d, while Huddart-Parkers continued to losing 2s and 2s 3d at 35s 6d and 35s 3d respectively. Interest in the miscellaneous section was centred in the improvement in G. J, Coles and Broken Hills. Following recent high levels in the South, tho former sold twice 2s higher at 78s 9d and later at 795. Broken Hills were dealt in Is 3d and Is dearer respectively at 64s 3d and 645." Hume Pipe (Aus".) moved up again to the high level of 19s Id. A sale of DunlopPerdriaus lOd in advance at 17s lOd indicated "that the recent decline was temporary.' British Tobaccos firmed, while Consolidated Bricks again improved. Wilsons Cement failed to maintain Saturday's rise, dropping back 3d to 475, with little interest shown. CLOSING QUOTATIONS
