Berlin, Jan. 26.
After the first buying orders had been executed, business slacked off, the market becoming quite listless. Obviously most of the genuine investors have committed themselves sufü- ciently in connection with the new Reichs consolidation loan or have already satisfied their current requirements otherwise.—Realizations to obtain funds for the end of month settlement and sales on foreign account overloaded the market with the result that the offer being greater than the demand prices sank. Minings were partly slightly better partly Bombay slightly weaker, lignites were quiet, potashes better, German Dye Trusts dropped.
On the fixed interest securities market gold mortgage and communal bonds were in lively demand. City loans were weak but most of the industrial bonds better.
Callmoney stood at 2% to 3 per cent.
