S. African Gold Shares Firm
In London
INDEX REACHES NEW
HIGH MARK FOR YEAR
London, July 4. The index of South African gold mining shares on the London Stock Exchange today reached a new high mark for the year.
Today's high mark for gold shares theoretically confirmed that the long down- trend ("Bear market") in gold shares since last January has turned into an uptrend (“Bull. market").
After falling to a low point of 71.1 in January, the index rose irregularly to 84.7 in April, fell back to 79.6 in May and has since, risen to 85.8 today.
