LONDON'S ART MARKET
(Special Air Mail Service).
London, July 6. London is supplanting Paris as the central market for French nineteenth century pictures,
Never before this season have so many first-class French-pictures been shown in London. Never be fore have so many French collec- tors come over to Inspect and to 'buy.
They find the pictures better and the prices lower than in Paris. A number of the Renoirs in the re- cent' exhibition of h's works were sold to French collectors

Yet he had a kind ness for the irish nation, and thus expressed himself to an Irishman (concerning the proposed Union): "Do not make a Union with us, sir. We should unite with you only to rob you. We should have rob- bed the Scotch if they had had anything of which we could have robbed them."
Mr. Nevinson, Un the other hand, thinks Dublin one of the loveliest of cities and has swarms of Irish friends. Surely this is a case when Trinity College, Dublin, might treat him as it treated Dr.
