44m Sainsbury's shares changed hands last night

Supermarket group J Sainsbury is trading higher, up 9.75p at 380p. Dealers noted a large block of shares changing hands last night - 44m at 370.25p each - which has caused some excitement.

Tchenguiz is heavily committed not only in J Sainsbury but in other stocks which are well below their peak, such as Mitchells & Butlers and SCi Entertainment.
