Odors for Government loans continued to fall. Banks were easier, with New Zealands being marked down. Insurances over a wide range lost ground, while other classified issues were affected equally. Australian industrials were quiet, but values were much lower than ••it the close of last week. This was continued by a sale of Colonial Sugars.
