Always when the result of an im portant match like this is won and lost by a penalty goal there is a lot of controversy, but there are few unbiassed spettators, who were present at the game, will not have a little sympathy for the losers. Twice they got the ball into the net only to get the worst of narrow, and hotly disputed, offside de- cisions, while of the two goals they conceded, one went in the net of their own man, and other was a somewhat doubtful penalty cision.

"THE STATIST'S

NUMBERS.

INDEX

Owing principally to an ad- vance in metal prices, the general level of sterling wholesale prices as measured by the Statine's Index number rose by 0.3 per cent, over the mouth of March. The index number at the close of the month was 120.5 (average price in 1587-77** 100) as against 120.1 at the end of February. The latest index num- ber compares with a figure of 123.8 at the end of March, 1928, showing that over the intervening twelve months the general level of sterling wholesale prices has fallen by 25 per cent.

The appreciations in copper and lead played a domidant part in the rise of the general index number last month. These movements were largely based upon speculative no- tivity in the metal market and have since been followed by considerable reductions. The rise in the index number during March should not, therefore, be attributed to funda mental factors. The following table gives more detailed information of changes in groups of sterling prices:

_A_telegram of the 22nd from New York states that prices for Chinese silk have fallen recently and neither merchants nor factories are buying exceps in small quantities. The drop in prices is attributed to the increased production of Japanese silk and artificial silk.

Following large arrivals of native four from Shanghai, the market for foreign four has been dull for weeks past. Demand is still short, the market is overstocked and prices are likely to drop still further as large quantities of foreign four are expected shortly.
