  /TI   BUSINESS: Equity options begin trading in Tokyo and Osaka: Japan's 
     leading exchanges try to lure individual investors with lower- 
     priced options that can leverage larger returns

  /LP,/TX,/XT       In efforts to win back individual investors and better compete 
    with overseas exchanges, the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges today 
    began trading in equity options. 
         Equity options--the right to buy or sell shares at a 
    predetermined price before a preset deadline--are traded on many 
    exchanges around the world. But only options tied to stock indexes 
    were approved in Japan. 
  /TX       Individuals are expected to invest in equity options because 
    trading fees are far lower than market prices of the underlying 
    stock. In contrast, institutional investors dominate trading in 
    stock index options. 
         But industry analysts warned that it will take some time before 
    equity options become popular because the government may change 
    taxation policies and many lower-tier securities houses are 
    inexperienced in financial derivatives transactions. 
         "If you ask for projections on the size of the market, I would 
    say it's a big unknown," said an official with the Osaka Securities 
    Exchange. 
         Tokyo and Osaka exchanges began trading in options on 20 stock 
    issues. Seven are overlapping: Sony Corp., Hitachi Ltd., Mitsui & 
    Co., Nippon Steel Corp., Toray Industries Inc., the Bank of Tokyo- 
    Mitsubishi and the Industrial Bank of Japan. 
         Exchange officials said they selected internationally known, 
    heavily traded corporations that also have large numbers of shares 
    and shareholders. The two exchanges plan to add issues in coming years. 
         Options allow investors to hedge stock holdings or leverage a 
    small investment into a large bet. If stock prices fail to rise or 
    fall as they expected, investors have only to not exercise options 
    and forfeit trading fees, called premiums.

  /AB,/XT       The British medical authorities have approved the Swedish 
    pharmaceutical company Astra's, medicine Colazide for acute 
    treatment of the intestinal disease ulcerous colitis. The decision 
    in Great Britain will mean that Astra can expect to also become 
    approved for the same purposes everywhere else in the European 
    Union. 
         Colazide will be introduced in the British market during the 
    second half of 1997 and in the rest of Europe it will be introduced 
    in 1998.
