LONDON'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Stocks Alternately Active and Firm
and Dull and Weak.

LONDON. February "a. = The stock
market during the week was alternately
active and firm and dull and weak, and
closed at irregular price changes. The
coal trade dispute overshadows the mar
ket. and, while dealers hold to the be-
lief that there will be no general strike,
the situation has grown sufficiently seri-
Gus to cause nervousness, and, pending
the result of the conferences Of the gov
eminent with the mine owners and the
miners, traders made q general reduc-
ton of their commitments In the home
rails and gilt-edged sections. thereby
wiping out the early improvement in
consols, which touched 79M and closed
at 78A. Gilt-edged shares were further
checked by the Toxic loan. which was
well covered, and the announcement Of
the early issue Of Canadian loan Of
May /. The industrial section continued
to prove attractive, but the rest OF the
market was comparatively neglected.
The American was one of the dullest
sections. The undecided tendency Of
American politics and fears of coal
strike Offset the half-hearted efforts OF
professionals to raise values. The mar
ket closed dull and but little changed
from last week.
The Bank of England, which controls
the money market, raised discount rates
in the middle Of the week, but funds be-
came more plentiful later owing to divi-
dend disbursements and the redemption
of treasury bills. an dthe rates de-
clined. The market is talking of an
early reduction in the bank rate, but
much depends upon the settlement Of the
coal strike.
