Financial Notes
INVESTMENTS FIRM.
IN many respects the Stock Markets may be said to have relapsed into the conditions which prevailed more than a month ago and before the temporary rally in most deparhmenis. That is to say, the public on the • whole has gone- back to the "safety first" stocks, and British Funds and kindred stocks have, in eonie-initnimea, established fresh high records during the past week. On the other hand, the More. speculative descriptions, and especially those dealt in on international account, have been depressed, the weaken- ing influences including selling orders both from the United States' and- the Continent. All securities directly connected With industry have also been dull owing to the continued trade depression, while in the same connexion a feature has been a further general fall in the price of metals.
