It is true that we are negotiat ing for the purchase of a big Oxford atreet drapery concern, but I cannot state at the moment the name of the firm, as the agree- ment has not yet been signed and sealed."
The absorption of Messrs. D: H. Evane & Co., Ltd., by Messrs. Har rods, Ltd., will mean the coalition of gigantic interests.
The authorised capital of Mesars Harrods is £6,500.000 in £1 shares, £4,000,000 being Seven and a Half per Cent. Cumulative Preference and £2,500,000 Ordinary. All the Preference and £1,013,000 of the Ordinary have been issued and paid up. The shares are quoted on the Stock Exchange se follows: Preference, 288. 3d.; Ordinsty, 758. ad.

LADY BLADES AND MISS
HELEN KEYNES:
The Epsom by-election, caused by the elevation to the Feorers of Sir Rowland Blades, is likely to pro- duce one of the most piquant con- tests in political history, says a Home paper to hand.
and
Lady Blades, the wife of the retiring member, was recommended a Conservative candidate by the committee of the Epsom Division Constitutional Association, Miss Helen M. Keynes, a member of the executive of the Fabian. Society, was adopted as Socialist candidate.
The recommendation
that Lady Blades should be the can- didate will come before a general meeting of the members She shares her husband's great popu- larity among all classes in the division. In his political work, Sir Rowland Blades has received great assistance from his wife, and London has rarely, if ever, had a Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress who have filled the positions with greater distinction than they did last year.
