Troubled carpet maker Feltex gained one cent to 59 cents. Shortly after the market closed, Feltex said it was shutting its yarn plant in Melbourne, Australia. Capital Properties rose one cent to 1.45 dollars after its independent directors recommended that shareholders reject AMP Property's 1.42 dollar a share take-over offer.
