convertible bonds or such as had moved
in sympathy with the undue advances

effect Of the foreign situation upon our
affairs was in the additional engage

immediate crisis in international affairs
cannot be held responsible for this,
which is in preparation for a further

Anglo Russian settlement were of no
influence for a time, but the market
made a substantial recovery in the
quieter mood of the later trading and
the losses were largely repaired. The
bull control was again asserted and
the market showed the relief afforded
