Berlin, Aug. 9.
The listlessness that marked the share market business on Saturday continued into the new week so that the condition of a standstill prevailed. Bank customers placed only the smallest of buying orders and in the absence of concrete prospects of a new activity operators too remained passive. Many shares for the want of actual transactions were not noted at al! while in other cases the market was so restricted that the small chance of buying orders often t sulted in big rises, giving a quite mi leading impression, Minings were offered beyond the market demand hence prices sagged. Machine works were weak, other sections of the share market erratic.
On the fixed interest securities market Reichs Old Liquidation Loan closed unchanged. at 128%. Comminal Funding Loan stood also unchanged at 94.90. In industrial bonds German Dye Trusts declined % to 2 134. Harpener Mining. weakened to 130%. Many city loans improved %s. Gold mortgage and comminal bonds were hardly dealt in because of the scarcity of stock but the demand was as keen as ever. Call money stood at 2% to 2% per cent.
