the price of Yarn during the week has counteracted any bullish ten- dencies. After slight fluctuations of 10 rands, either way the market clos- ed at Tls.12,575 cash and Tla.12.70 June. Shanghat Cottons have been very quiet and close with buyers at 71.71.76 cash. Zoong Sings have been neglected.

Shanghai Lands as was expected have risen considerably, the highest business reported being Tis.145. With a Tls.3.00 dividend due in July, we

look for a further rise as they show a 6 per cent. return on Tis.150, which is gradually getting difficult to obtain for sound investments. Shanghai Wharves

are in strong demand Tls. 177 cash being done and more are wanted at this price but sellers are reluctant to dispose

of their holdings except at a higher figure.

Shanghai Docks have again been the medium of a large business and shares have changed hands

The reply of the. Prime Minister to the request of the executive of the Iron and Steel Trades Confedera. tion to have a Royal Commission or other competent committee appointed to make an

impartial investigation of

The Government stated, in effect, that an inquiry on the lines suggest- ed would be of long duration, and would not achieve the object in view.

The executive gave full considera- tion to the Prime Minister's letter, and decided on the terms of a reply.
