London Stock Market

London, August 31.-The stock market after an unsettled week and irregular changes finished cheerful with firm un- dertone and an upward tendency. 1he feature of the week was the advance in the bank rate from 3 to per cent in prep aration for the autumn gold demand and the dearer money outlook in the continent and in America. The higher bank rate temporarily depressed gilt edged securities which, together with home rails. had been weakened earlier by reports of damage by floods; but fresh investment buying and renewed speculative support, especial ly in the underground group, caused a general recovery Friday and today. The miscellaneous section provided interest ing movements. Rubber shares had a boom on broadening outside buying while steamship shares were readily absorbed on prospective earnings Rumors that the Royal Mail Packet company was ne- gotIating for the purchase of the Pensa- sular and Oriental line sent the former 3O points higher. Peruvian securities were strong in the foreign section on rumors Of a reorganization of the finances of va rlous corporations. Far eastern bonds also attracted attention while diamond and gold mine shares were features of the week end trading.
 American securities were almost feature less in the absence of a lead from Wall street and they closed today quiet and but little changed from last Saturday.
