BERLIN SHARE
MARKET
[Special to the "Hong Kong Daily Press" L'opyright.))
Berlin, Jan 11.
The confident tone of the share- market continued on Saturday
business being brisk, most prices stikening. Halders of metallur- gicals showed a disposition to take profits but even despite this, rises were more numerous than falls, the demand for Steel Trusts being especially lively. Fixed Interest Securities on the other hand were quiet. Foreign bonds in the form of Russians and Turkish were weaker, while the Gosian Railway Loan and Mexicans were firmer. Call money was at 2 to 2
