There are still very heavy stocks of Shensi cotton in Shanghai and with actual business before them, holders are inclined to be reason able.

Indian cotton still is too dear to be" purchased by Shanghai mills.

China Cotton,

In their weekly report on China cotton and Yarn, Messrs. J. Spunt &Co write:-

During the early part of the week our market continued dullish but towards the close there trans- pired a little more of activity than has been experienced for some time past and due to the little demand on the part of local mills prices rose about 29 candareans higher than the level last attained and whereon a fair volume of business may be said to have been consum- mated.

MrLosoby The race started, according to tradition, with one. There are such things as doctors multiplying in accordance with the increase in the population.

Mr. Loseby: As an expert wit ness you are aware that it was the practice among Chinese to hand medical knowledge from down father to son keeping it in the same family1-Yea

The residents of the Hotel have decoration and luxury on every side within doors, and lest they should glance from the window they have been provided with i vision of flowers palms and grasa,. When it was suggested that a gar. den on suitable lines should be provided for the new children's playground all sorts of objections were raised as to the difficulties of finding turf or transplanting trees.
