Chance Information.

The raid took place at the 16th mile, Jurong Road,' and was the auquel to information which the police became possessed of in tho course of a chance arrest of a Chinese who was found to have, in his possession some watches taken during the North Bridge Road jewellers' shop robbery referred to above.

The raid was carried out by Messrs. Nicol (offeer in charge f Rochore Police Station). accom- panied by four other European officers and a party of native police..

A noiseless entry was effected to the house in which the robbers were sleeping with the result that they awoke to find themselves in police custody..

CURTAILMENT OF COTTON YARN.

LANCASHIRE OPINION

DIVIDED.

London, Sept. 26: While the Lancashire cotton conference is admittedly at a dead- lock, as regards co-ordination of policy, a further conference is to be held on September 27.

Mr. Ryan, the secretary of the Cotton Yarn Association, stated that the report that the conference had broken down owing to inabi lity to agree on minimum prices was incorrect.

The operativos and their leaders view the position with some un- easiness, and many of their spokes- men are of opinion that the policy of bolstering up prices by cur- setailed production can in the long run only make it harder for Lan- cashire to compete with markets abroad.Reuter.
