There is less business doingin public securities this
te)rning, and
quotations are in consequence a shade
easier. In the Funds there is an ex optional rise of
4s in Exchequer Bills. The announcement concerning
the new Egyptian Loan has had the effect of further
reducing the value of Egyptian Securities, the Vice-
roy's obligations suffering least. Turkish are without
recovery,
and Italian and Spanish are barely so good
" they were. With the exception of Great Luxem-
bourg, home and foreign railways are heavy. Shares
generally are dull.
