comfort. The fact that admission to the HONGKONG SHARE MARKET Fair buildings is limited to personal in- vitation to the bona fide trade buyer further contributes to the desirable end that the Fair shall be "A Buisness Mar- ket for Business Mea."

The extraordinary growth of the British Industries Fair, both in size and prestige, is well illustrated by the sites it has in occupied in the past and will occupy the future. After growing from small heginnings. it filed in 1920, the Crystal Palace, the largest single exhibition building in the world. From the Crystal Palace it was obliged to move to the famous White City, its home for this year, to occupy a great range of halls and galleries, until now one of the largest exhibition areas in Europe. But though able to house the British Industries Fair of 1921, 1999 and 1923. the White City is far short in area of the enormous halls and palaces now in course of erection to become eventually the home of this ever. growing Fair. Some conception of the space which will be available may be gathered from the fact that the actual halls in which the British Industries. Fair of 1925 will be held cover no less than 20 acres of ground, This is about twelve times the area of Trafalgar Square, more than three times that of Madison Square. New York City, and nearly twice that of the Place de la Concorde, in Paris.

The British Industries Fair of 1924 in London is being organised by the Depart tuent of Qverseas Trade, and will be Ia upen from April 28th to May 9th.

Birmingham it is organised by the Muni- eipality and Chamber of Commerce, and will be open from May 19th to sard.
