WALL STREET NOT INTERESTED

New York, Aug. 28. Wall Street appears to be taking little if any interest in the meeting. between President Roosevelt, Mr.

Montagu Norman (of the Bank of England) and Mr. Harrison (Governor of the Federal Reserve Board).

It is believed that the subject under discussion concerns the monotary policies of the United States and Great Britain, þwith a view to an adjustment to a common policy.

Important decisions may possibly be reached, but so little is known about the progress of the talks or thelf nature that it was not aur- prising to find that there was no reaction on the foreign exchange markot, which showed little activity-Reuter.

In view of the Communist entry into north-west Fukien the Japanese cruiser, Isudza, which was due in Hongkong to-day on

an

informal visit, has been diverted to Foochow to watch Japanese interests there.

Aboard the laudza is Rear-Ad. miral Yamanouchi who is stated

to be travelling as a passenger. The reason given to the Telegraph at the Japanese Consulate this morning for this Was that it was not intended that the Ad- miral should exchange formal calls with the Hongkong Govern- ment.

In the event of the trouble in Fukien not proving to be serious, the Isadza will return from Foo-1 chow to Makong.

The Communist advance has caused no little concern, and the

United States authorities have ad-
