FINANCIAL NOTE S INvEsiammrs BErraa.

There has been a slight improvement in general feeling in the Stock Markets during the past week, more especially as regards investments descriptions, British Funds and kindred securities having rallied materially. In the main, this has been due to a better tendency in the American Exchange, while not only have gold withdrawals been smaller, but the Bank last week succeeded in obtaining a small amount of South African gold. The slight rally in the French Exchange has also not been without its effect and, although rubber shares have reacted rather sharply in sympathy with the setback in the commodity, there has since been a partial recovery.
