The tendency to stimulate spe- elative buying in September was dissipated by weightier factors in- cluding the decreasing purchasing power of the community here, ac- cording to a report issued by the Industrial section of the Shanghai Municipal Council for September, reports the North "China Daily News. Eighty industrial and oc- cupational accidents. resulting in one woman being killed and two Injured and injury to 4 persons n machinery. 16 through falls, three from electrocution and two in fires, were reported for the month under review. Altogether thirteer. industrial fires were re- corded for September.
NO IMPROVEMENT The report on the economic situation in Shanghai follows:-
"There were no signs of improve- ment in the economic situation in Industrial enterprises. Ohe large group of cotton mills cartalled its production still further, work now,"
addition to being stopped on Sundays, ceasing also on Satur- days.
"Low exchange valucs during the month tended to stimulate some speculative buying. But weightier. factors offset this tendency. nota- bly the decreasing parchasing power of the community Silk co- coons have not found their way? Into the Settlement Two flatures only have been working with co- coons previously in stock, and one of these is about to close.
