JN=, JC=, PY=, PD=	`Times of London (TL) - WEDNESDAY September 25, 1991`
AU=	`By: Michael Clark`
/SH, SH=	`Section: Business`
	`Word Count: 808`

	`TEXT:`
/LP, /TX	`Share prices traded in narrow limits throughout the day as`
	`arbitrageurs continued to unwind their positions ahead of`
	`the expiry of the September series on the futures market`
	`later this week.`

	`Dealers said the tail wagged the dog as professional investors`
	`scrambled to cover short positions. Recent takeover speculation`
	`and economic revival have seen a big premium established in the`
	`FT-SE 100 index September series. At the start of business`
	`yesterday, 4,000 open contracts had still to be sorted out.`
	`As a result, most institutional investors remained on the`
	`sidelines, with the FT-SE 100 index see-sawing in a 12-point`
	`band before closing 2.9 lower at 2,576.6. The FT index of`
	`30 shares lost 7.1 at 2,009.4 with 452m shares traded.`

/TX	`Government securities were left nursing falls of #1/8 at the`
	`longer end ahead of today's #1.5bn auction.`

	`Asda, the troubled supermarket chain, continued to lose`
	`ground, with the price sliding 4.5p to 59.5p as dealers`
	`braced themselves for details of a #350m rights issue,`
	`expected today. The shares fell 30% last week after the`
	`after the company issued a grim profits warning and cut`
	`the dividend. There is speculation that the group is`
	`considering raising #350m through a two-for-three rights`
	`issue at 45p. Dealers do not rule out a bid.`

	`Sears, the Freemans mail order and Saxone to Selfridges`
	`group, touched 99p before closing 2p higher at 95p in`
	`active trade that saw more than 5m shares change hands`
	`as bid speculation intensified. Sears, an old takeover`
	`favourite, is now seen as a possible target for`
	`Kingfisher, the Woolworth, Comet and B and Q retailer,`
	`down 7p at 543.5p. Speculators have been saying for some time`
	`that Kingfisher will take advantage of its strong share price`
	`to make an acquisition.`
	`.`
	`.`
	`.`
	`P and P, the computer systems group, jumped 10p to 119p.`
	`The price has risen 20% so far this week, helped by bullish`
	`reviews from Hoare Govett and UBS Phillips and Drew. Both`
	`recommend P and P as a recovery stock. Hoare Govett`
	`forecasts pre-tax profits of #8m for the current`
	`year compared with #13.1m last time.`
