Berlin, July 21. The demand in the share market to-day was very restricted, most investers showing exceeding caution on account of the international political news and above on account of the warlike occurrences in the Far East.
The operations, seeing little prospect of an immediate animation of the market, proceeded to realizations with the result that most sections of the markets were decidedly weaker. Rayons, lignites, electrics were weaker, but minings firm.
Fixed interest securities were scarcely affected by the weakness of the shares, certain sections in fact being very firm, Reichs Old Liquidation Loan rose % to 126%, Brandenburg Provincial Loan 1926 rose City loans were firmer, Eisenach improving %, Gelsenkirchen 5%, Hagen Numerous gold mortgage bonds improved X4.
