BRITISH MARKETS
DEEPLY. IMPRESSED

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The collapse
Of German exchange and the weak
ening Of other continental rates has
upset the stock market. which sees
in these spectacular fluctuations more
bad times ahead for British trade.
So pronounced has the depression
become that the London stock ex-
change is in the unusual. position
of having no speculative section
which is in public favor
The activity has died out of the
mining market. Rubber shares are
dead for the time being. Oils are
again depressed and only the indus
trial market shows a spasmodic
flicker of interest.
