ON THE ’CHANGE

MARKET QUIET DEMAND FOR BONDS While most of the better classes of securities are in good tone, little actual business is recorded. no movement is registered in the market lor any class of scrip. A steady demand is recorded for < lovernment and local body securities, though the market for 1933 and 1936 bonds and stocks is dull at the moment. Mining is weak and depressed, but at times there are indications that good news from a reliable source would see a healthier tone in the market.
