Old Prints Bring
Heavy London Profits

London. Oct. s CA. l.. by MaiD-
Old Japanese prints. as result of
the Japanese earthquake. are becom-
ing so scarce in London, formerly
their greatest market. that the
prices have more than trebled dur
ing the last six months. The collec-
tions of the London art dealers are
nearly exhausted and the hitherto
enormous stocks of the famous
Japanese collections no longer exist
Specimens of the best schools arc no
longer ohtainable, and so much In
demand are the rarer types that
dealers in this little heard of trade
are buying all available prints even
before they reach the auction rooms.
There are at present less than 300
Of these old prints in London, ac-
cording to Japanese experts. The
result is. they say. that there are
many prints being offered oday
whose antiquity does not predate the
earthquake. and many have been sold
here and on the continent as genuine.
whereas they are not worth more
than few pence.
For several years before the war
about 1000 old prints annually were
sent from Japan to be sold in Lon
don. Despite this large number. It
is estimated that one-half of the
existing prints more than 400 years
old were destroyed in the quake.
Among them was one by Hokusai
for which G1.50O was paid In Lon
don just after the war.
The British Museum now posses
ses the finest collection of old
Japanese prints outside Japan,
largely collected during the Russo
japanese war.

ject. After three delightful selections
by st. Augustine's Band, Mr.. Levas-
seur introduced Harry o. Barney.

The principal of the night school,
Frank 3. Murphy. then gave a compar-
ison between the night school when

scription of the present work proved
the true value of the night school and
the wonderful opportunities offered by
the present-day methods.
The next speaker, Aime Casayant,
emphasized the necessity of being able
to read and write English for natural
ization. His talk was very enthusi-
astically received.
