LONDON STOCK MARKET
Attendance Is Light and Trading Dull
Americans Quiet and Heavy

LONDON. Nov. 2.-The speech of Sir
Eric Geddes. First Lord of the Admiralty,
offset the effect Of the news from the Italian
front on the Stock Exchange today. The
attendance was light and the markets were
dull, with hesitation in evidence.
The gilt-edged section was firm in spots.
About 100000 was disbursed in various
dividends yesterday, Allied bonds were
steady but without feature.
Americans were quiet and heavy, fol-
lowing the trend at New York. Canadian
Pacific dropped again, and Grand Trunks
wavered. too.
Home lines were neglected and occa
sionally easier Argentina rails were wei!
maintained. There was moderate selling
OF Hudson Bay. Mines were habby but
quiet. Rubbers and oils were slow.
