INDUSTRIALS ACTPTE.

There have been few sections of the House which have not participated in the general cheerfulness, but perhaps the outstanding feature has been the buoyancy of Home Railway stocks, to which reference is made in another column, and the continued activity in a few leading Industrials such as the Tobacco group and Margarine Union and Unie. During the past week Margarine Union shares have risen about 12s., while the present quotation of 121s. compares with 66s. 9d. at the beginning of the year. The purely speculative markets have also been good, a feature being the activity and strength of Rhodesian Mines.
