Financial Notes

FIRM MARIKE'rS.

THE main features of the Stock Markets have been pretty well covered in the articles in the preceding column, but it must not be supposed that the improvement has been entirely confined to gilt-edged securities. Financial activity has 'been stimu- lated in various sections of the Stock Exchange, and not least in the matter of response to new capital issues, the great rush for the Bristol Corporation stock being indicative of the changed attitude of the investors towards new flotations of the trustee type. Moreover, some of the popular Indus- trials have also improved, while in the foreign section the outstanding feature has been the further advance in Brazil stocks and a sharp rally in Argentine Railway securities.
