SHAMEEN FOOTBALL.

DRAWN GAME IN LEAGUE,

Shameen, Nov. 16. The best match so far witnessed this season was played yesterday afternon when the Shameen Sports Club niet II.M.S. Scamew in the Shameen Football League.

The game was very even all the way through. In the first half it might be said that the Scamew held

alight advantage but certainly missed two good opportunities of scoring, In the second half, the advantage, if any, was alightly in favour of Shameen who would certainly have scored on two oc eastons had it not been for the brilliant display on the part of the Senmew goalkeeper.

The game resulted in a draw with out any score on either side. Those playing for the Shameen Sports Club were:-A. T. Lay: Nogelzig, J. Linnker; O! Friessner, Brown, H. T. Buxton; Geo. Duncan, D. Latimer, J. A. Summers, J. Rodger and F. E. W. Lammert.

JAPANESE BOYCOTT EFFECTS STILL FELT.

The fortnightly Price Current and Market Report, published by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, states:

Piece Goods.

The following reports have been received:

Some business has been done in White Shirtings with Manchester prices a little casier than they wore a few weeks ago. Market values for British goods remain fairly steady, but Japanese cloths have weakened still further in Ince of the continuance of the boycott.

Nothing to report; market very quiet. Cotton,, after declining slightly, has now taken an upward trend with Manchester prlees much firmer.

Woollens.

There is a small business doing in miscellaneous fabrics, including some repeat orders on Fancy Sult ings

and Wool Venetians. The main buying for July/ August shipment is still de

sald that Inyed and it is purchase will not be made until next month or even January. The reason given is that large quantities of goods are being hold up by boy- colt committees and tax collectors, so that dealers find it difficult to obtain remittances and to gauge the requirements for next season, Clearances have been fairly good, but are not so brisk as during last month.
