LONDON CHANGE IS
OPENED WITH SONG
Handful Of Members Left Cheer
and Sing "God Save the
King"
MARKET DULL AND HARD

LONDON, Jan i.--The London Stock Ex-
change formally reopened to-day, after
having remained closed since July 30
last. Attendance was rather small and
the amount OF business done well nigh
insignificant Nevertheless. the members
present cheered the event enthusiastically
aud the opening OF the session was made
all the more impressive by the singing OF
the national anthem, God Save the King"
\ large number Of members are doing
war service; others have found various
occupations outside the city, and IN adj
dition twenty-four members comprising
fourteen firms, remain suspended until
the stock Exchange committee has COM
pletcd the liquidation Of certain knotty
accounts. Moreover large number OF
foreign members are excluded from doing
business on account OF their connections
with alien enemies. 4 list of those for
eigu members who have given assurances
Of having severed such connections and
are therefore able to trade was posted
In any case it Is doubtful If the
amount " business would have been
larger. The manifold restrictions upon
which the stock Exchange committee per
mtted a reopenug have fettered business
activities TO an extraordinary degree.
Nevertheless tho resumption Of markets
within the house itself Is welcomed not
only because II signifies immense progress
from the dark days imm diately following
the outbreak Of war but also to no small
degree because the members once more
obtain warmth and shelter The condl-
lions under which business has been trans
acted during the past five months out on
the curb, disturbed by the weather and
traffic, have been extremely disagrteahle.
Tho principal dealings were Ia gilt edged
Investments and the tone here was hard
Consols were quoted at 6Si2, and the new
war loan appeared at 9i6S. There was
some little buying OF bank shares lit
tie business also was done in mines and
rubber shares. RIO Tintos were at 81
and later at 57is. and De Beers at 9S-
Practically nothing was done IN Ameri-
cans. Unions were at 119 and Central
was up "A shade. The rules imposed by
the committee allow no arbitrage between
your market and ours and at the present
time no street dealings are allowed.
