LONDON STOCK MAUKET
Business Is Slow Americans Waver,
but Arc Listless
LONDON. -Ian. 27. There was no fea
ture tn the stock markets today. While,
Bteady. they were slow and of the usual
week-end character.
The gilt-edged nectton was dull and un
changed. Korelgnera were Idle but firm
Brazilian. Argentine. Chilian and Chlnete
securities are expected to be requisitioned
first by the Treasury.
These descriptions were cheerful and
some of them were stronger, dealers being
deHlrous of malting quotations at which
issues will be loaned or sold to the Gov
ernment as high as possible.
Americans wavered, but were listless.
Home rails were sustained Oils were
easier. In sympathy with the Btaple, rub
bers were dull. Allied bonds were good.
Japanese moved upward on the China
Japan settlement.
