DEPRESSION"

Berlin, Nov. 3.

The sharemarket remained un- certain throughout the day, the chief cause being the undiminish- ed international tension.

Bank customers attempted reall- sation on a moderate scale, but the lack of enterprise in other quarters Was enough to depress share quotations ganerally despite the fact that very favourable reports had been received from the auto- moblie industry for the first nine months of the year. Selling on foreign account also oppressed the market.

Mining shares were mostly weaker and electrics were also depressed, while business on the Exed interest securities market was almost at a standstill. The Reichs Old Liquidation Load, however, rose by to 129). State loans were again weaker and there were very

few transactions in gold mortgage bonds--
