London Stock Market.

London, September 26.-The stock
exchange has had fairly active
weeks trading, with a generally steady
undertone and in spite of the early
break in American securities quota
tons on British shares, foreigners and
Kaffirs showed fractional advances.
Gilt edge shares, especially the good
yielding securities, were fortified by
the investment of the banking balances
and the funds released from trade chan
nels and rose toward the k-end,
while better traffic returns together
with reports of further pooling ar
| engagements strengthened home rails,
although the cotton crop chacked a
| pronounced upward movement.
The American section showed the
most interest and excitement during
the week. Prices jumped about In an
| erratic manner. The slump early in
the week created anxiety about the
differences to be met in the forthcom-
ing stea tement, but the market later
gave an exhibition of remarkable re-
Operative powers under persistent
support from the other side.
This induced Berlin and Amsterdam
houses to cover their earlier sales, the
result being a rise in the loading of
stocks from three to six points from
the lowest. The final values were
within a. point of last Saturdays close.
| General realizings today, however, gave
| the market rather unsettled appear
| ance. Union Pacific closed three points
lower than last Saturday.
