Continued uncertainty marked the start ot dealings for settlement on December 4 and similar conditions ruled in the Consols market where a weak start was followed by professional buying, with actual investment too slight to afford a factor of gilt-edged business. However, Japanese bonds were in sustained demand and Peru National 6 per cent I68i at one time reached 69. There were just over 8,160 markings, the smallest to start a fresh account since the Egyptian situation became an adverse factor a week before the general election. At first higher quotations for the more important Industrial equities suggested professional overselling during the recent account. For example, up to 50s 6d was given for Imperial Chemical.

Selling for cash then became conspicuous and showed the extent of the vulnerable speculative position mentioned here yesterday. Buyers gave up to 91s 10Jd for Marks and Spencer, which fell 3s 6d yesterdav. British Celanese were quoted ex rights to the issue of new shares on which there was eventually a premium of 2s 6d.
