COLOURFUL CEREMONY
AT THE VALLEY ·
Leaden skies and the sudden cold snap did not detract from one of the most inspiring and picturesque military pageants ever witnessed in Hongkong, when, at Happy Valley this morning, the ceremony took place of the presentation of Colours to the 1st Battalion of the South Wales Borderers by His Excellency the Governor. Opening, Mr. Potter said it was a special case brought under

The first shipment was apparently treated as a trial shipment. and when it arrived the quality was accepted as being of the quality to be delivered in the future. After 24,000 tons were delivered, Hussain broke his contract by refusing to deliver further unless Hang Shun were prepared to pay a higher price; by insisting that the percentage by 50-50 instead of the 70-30: and Jinstead of a price for lump and a price for nut, there should be an all-round price..
