Mediation Report Ridiculed
Hankow, Feb. 9. Commenting on the report that Great Britain minit mediate in the Sino-Japanese conillel, the Ta Kung Pro, an influentiat vernacular daily here, believed that she will not bring pressure to bear on Ching to agree to unacceptable terms from Japan.
Great Britain, the fournal further says, has no power to change Japan's ambition of conquering China. Know- ing this well, she will not likely medlate in the current hostilities rashly.
"We may safely assert that the re- ported mediation by Great Britain will never materialize. Now that Japan is bent on continuing the hos- tities, any third party overtures will hardly entry weight," the paper concludes.-Central News.
MALICIOUS REPORTS
Hunkow, Feb. 9.
The Japanese report that the Chip- ese Government "is approaching the British Government for mediation in the Sino-Japanese conflet" was des- cribed by high Chinese officials "another attempt by the Japanese to create Internal dissension within the Chinese Government."
дз
Chinese circles allege that when the Japanese forces occupied Nan- king rumours were spread by the Japanese that the Chinese Govern- ment was suing for peace. The Chi- nese belleve that similar tactics are now again adopted with the Japan- ese driving on suchow, an Impor- tant point on the Tientsin-Pukow and Lunghal railways.
The Chinese Government's deter- mination to continue resistance will not be affected by such rumours.~~-~ Reuter
JAPANESE DENIAL
Tokyo, Feb. 9. "There is no truth in the rumours concerning British mediation be- tween China and Japan," said a spokesman of the Japanese Foreign office, when Interviewed by Reuter's corrspondent this morning-Reuter.
NO EQUAL FOOTING
Shanghai, Feb. 9: "On the basis of announcements made by the Japanese Government it is inconceivable that the Japanese Government, and Chiang Kai-shek administration should discuss matters on an equal footing," the reply made by a Japanese Em- bassy spokesman, when asked it there were truth in the reports of mediation.
such was
"As the Japanese Government has announced that. It will not deal with the Chiang Kai-shek administration." he added, "the question of mediation does not arise, is mediation implies the use of good offices on an equal footing."-Reuter.

Cotton: The advance in prices on the passage of the Farm Blu by the House of Representatives met with profit-taking, due to the bellef that there would be stronger opposition in the Senate. The market is broaden- Ing.
Wheat: There is some bellef that any rains in the South-West would cause a set-back in view of the light | exports and the prospective carry- over, but, while forecasts of rain continue, there is no material relief as yet. The most recent Govern- ment
reporta confirm the drought condition. The firmness of the cash position and of the Winnipeg market oro steadying influences. Germany is reported to be a buyer of Argen- line futures.

Rubber: The market is feature- less and prices are inclined to follow the movements of the stock market. Sugar: The market is weak.
