MARKETS PARALYSED
HOME STOCK EXCHANGE COM MO DIT LEH ST E A DIER (Reed. Mar. 25, 1.50 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 24. The growing political apprehension paralysed the markets this week. Quotations jumped erratically under the influence of alternate optimism and pessimism regarding the immediate international prospects, but as business was reduced to negligible proportions, price movements must be described as unreal and wore reflections of dealers’ estimates and the public reaction to the newspaper headlines. Commodity prices were steadier. The strain on sterling was offset by heavy gold dealings, shipments to New. York totalling £14,700,000 in the week.
