Pekin Syndicate shares were active yesterday, and, as we pointed out in our Stock Market article, the buying seemed to 'emanate from the Continent. There was s ramour that this buying was due to the probability of the recalcitrant Continental holders coming to terms in the near future, and withdrawing their opposition to the 'unification scheme. In any case, of course, the bill having fallen through, a fresh scheme will have to be brought forward in time for the next Parliamentary Bession, but it is not likely to differ very from that which recently so nearly
