HONG KONG TRADE.

PIECE GOODS MARKET *** DEAD."

The fortnightly report" issued by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commeros states:-

"Cotton Flacu Goods, There is little or no evidence of any ufarket activity "to" report during the period under rovio, apart from sales of fancies in negligible quantity "ex_stock."? Exchange proves an effective ob- stacle to new business for forward shipment. Cotton values show some slight approciation from low levels obtaining in the interim since we last reported. Mid. Am. is now quoted 5.280. and Eg. Sakol, 7.83d. Manchester, cloth prices are on the easy side.

Markét rumour is rife that Customs duties in China will be appreciably increased. Little re- flection of these rumours is to bo found in offtake of collon goods from this market, and although ratio of clearances to stocks in admittedly satisfactory, this is chiefly attributable to the smallness of stocks.

Another report states:

It is no new thing for one Bishop to rebuke another in public, and Dr. Hensley Henson's kindly ad monishment recently of his brother of Birmingham caused no great surprise. But the freemasonry of the law is generally regarded as being rather closer, and members of the profession rubbed their eyes when they read Mr. Justice Evo's blunt correction of Mr. Justice Me- Cardie. Not only did he say that Mr. Justice McCardio's views on the incrense of perjury were ill founded, ho also asserted that they had been put forward in a dull speech. There was fairly general support for Mr. Justico Evo's view, with the excep tion that the utterances of Mr. Justice McCordic are seldom, if evor, dull. They invariably claim attention by their vigour.

bulletin in connection with a big court drama which was abtracting public attention!

"The Council," he added, "is going back to the dark days of pauperism in the manner in which it is administering its test work scheme in connection with relief."

Marder Trial Defence,

Sir William. Ray said that the

Miss C, M, Young, who was call- allegations made by Mr. Manning--ed in January, 1923, had the distinc wore very grave. He asked mom-tion of being the first Portia to re- hers to postpono judgment,

picent a woman plaintiff in the High Court in no action for breach of promise of marriage: This case led to a lengthy argument before. Mr. Justice McCardie as to the right of the jilted woman to retain the engagement ring, on which, she won her point..

Mr. T. J. Blacketter said that at a meeting of one of the area committees an aged applicant was granted one shirt, "and the comi mitteo had the audacity to tell him he must sit in bed while it is washod."

Mr. W. H. Berry said it had been Joft to the Council to "ro introduce slavery into Britain.

"In regard to public assistance administration," he added, the mark of shame has been dung across the fair face of London.".

·Sir Cyril Cobb, M.P. (chairman of the committee), said they had nothing to hide. A full report would be made to the Council as to the administration of Poor Law relief since April.

Motions by Mr. Manning de nanding the adjournment of the Council, and declaring that the Council viewed the matter with grave concern," were lost by 64 votes to 49 and 62 votes to 35.

The now Austrian Parliament, which gathered for the first time on December 2, was enlivened by the appearance in uniform of Prince Starhomberg, leader of the Austrian Fascists, and his, eight followers, who all wore their picturesque fen- thered hats.

Miss Venetia Stephenson, who once led" in the defence of a man charged with murdor-her junior being a man barrister-was called in November, 1924. During the war she was employed at the Ministry of Munitions.

The Baroness Clifton was called at Lincoln's Inn, and the Inner Temple saw the call at the same time of a brother and sister, Mr. and Miss Lim, the children of a Penang merchant.

There had been an amazing changs in the national outlook as regards tuberculosis, declared Bir Robert Philip, of Edinburgh, Hon. Physician to the King in Scotland. in the Chadwick Lecture at the hall of the Royal Society of Arts. While, 30 years ago, there were not more than one tuberculosis dispensary and two or three sanatoria in Great Britain, thero' were now some 500 dispensaries and over 300 sanatoria and hospitals. Fifty years ago in Scotland the death-rate from tuber- éulosis' was 328 per 100,000; last year it was only 07. The decline in mor-
