They are now three and a half years old.

In two years they will be ready for school. A special building will be put up for them in the hos- pital grounds in Callander, and their schoolmates will be carefully selected village children who will not make them feel too self-conscious.

STOCK MARKET REPORT

The Hongkong Stock Issued Friday says:

Exchange

During the past week, the market, if such it can be called, was under the influence of alarming or alarmist advices as to the progress of political

consequence, affairs, and, in

little business was done. Such as was effected was as sharply reced- ing prices, the latter being sub- jest to negotiation, and hardly repre- sentative of a market in the accepted

sense.

In London, Far Eastern markets were steady generally, although Banks were marked down to £80, and sold locally at $1,430.

The Manila market afforded no opportunity for printable comment.

BUSINESS DONE DURING the WEEK

Hongkong Bank $1,430, $1,445, $1,450.

Canton Insurance $272, $270, Providents (New) $0.25.

Canton Insurance $272, $270. Hongkong Fires $240. Hotels $5.

China Lights (Rights) $5. Electrics $51, $50, $501⁄44. Constructions (Old) $14.
