The Details of General De Vets
Christmas Eve Coup Received
in London Too Late to Affect
Business on Stock Exchange
TOTAL OF BUSINESS
COMPARATIVELY SMALL
Money Was at Times in Keen De-
mand but Most of the Large
Debt Due the Bank of England
Was Renewed-Rates Lower
on First-CIass Paper

London. Dec. 29.-With two holidays
during the past week, the total OF pusl-
ness on the Stock Exchange was COM
paratively small, but cheerful tone
prevailed.
The details of General DeWet's sue
cess at Zeefontein We're received TOO
late to affect the optimistic predictions
of a wind up in South Africa, the run
presumption of work on the rand and
a general industrial revival in 19Oz-
Money was at times in keen demand
but most of the large debt due the
Bank of England was renewed, Rates
were slightly lower for first class
paper. Consols closed Il lower, but the
shares of the British Chartered South
African Company were up on rumors
that the government would take over
Rhodesia.
Beyond speculative predictions, now
ever. matters are resting rather quiet
". awaiting the turn of the year, When
it is believed in most quarters that the
accumulation of cash at New York ana
Paris will induce France to go into the
London Stock Exchange with view
to large investment purchases at the
present low level Of prices.
