BERLIN BOURSE

Berlin, Feb. 21

As had been expected the be to-day was, completely under the influence of the Fuehrer's Reichstag speech. On the share market the discussion of those passages of Hitler's speech summarising the achievements of five years of National Socialist regime was very active. Considerable comment was also evoked by the news of Mr. Eden's resignation.

Transactions were mostly small and the tendency decidedly friendly but the volume of business remained moderate, Only in special cases was the interest keen. On the whole prices were firmer.

ixed interest securities continued mounting all-the more so because the stock was very scarce. In many cases applicants for gold mortgage bonds were not able to obtain any stock of the kind required. Reichs Old Liquidation Loan improved 44 to 13234. State and provincial loans were firmer. In industrial bonds Dye Trusts weakened 12 to 130%, Siemens & Halske rose 1⁄4 to 19114, Harpeners declined % to 124.

Callmoney stood at 2% to 2% per cent.—Trans-Ocean.
