The Real Trouble in Shanghai.

Are you in a position to say that the November Settlement has been negotiated ratisfactorily?" asked the Daily Press representa- tive.

The Shanghai brokers, as far as my information goes, have succeed- ed in liquidating the position to grent extent, but it must be remem; bered there are a number who have gene in for a colossal number of Shares-one man it is understood having no fewer than 75,000 shares to take up. They liquidated his position a few weeks ago, and since then the market for Exos has been healthier, but again, since that date, brokers have discovered many more weak holders; several of thess are now being liquidated, but I am afraid there will be more to be dealt with before December,

Our informinn on being asked If there was any real panic ia Shanghai, said there was not. He explained that another factor which had helped to bring down the price af Ewos was the yarn position. "I anerstand that the yarn settle "ment for November did not go of

Influence on Hong Kong. "Can you say to what extent the nervousness in Shanghai will in fuones the Hong Kong share market?" asked the Daily Press representative."

The second leak was more ex- tensive. It was at a new point. A hole, several inches square, had been made on the roof through which broken tiles had fallen. the area round the hole a number of tiles had been broken. This hole was not, in my opinion, caused by pressure or the weight of the scaffolding, but by some forcible impact, which remains unascertain- ed.

This is entirely incorrect, for even should the ball slip forward, although correctly thrown in, on a wet day, the law states, "The thrower shall not again play until the ball has been played by another player." This should never be for- gotten, because the penalty for such an offence is a free kick to the other side.
