GERMAN SHARE MARKET
[Special to the "Hong Kong Dally Press (Copyright).]
Berlin Oct. (10.
The bourse on Wednesday" was completely under the influence of the tragic everit in Marseilles, buyers, both public and operators, showing extreme caution because of the possible effects in the inter- national political situation. Hence. though a small amount of stock was offered to buyers, still fewer prices ended downward. Even the fxed interest securities showed a decline, city loans being consider ably depressed, and the
Breslau loan dropped as much as two and a half per cent.
