Market Quotations

THE Pacific Islands Monthly makes a close check of the prices quoted for Islands produce; and we regularly publish the range of prices during each month, including the last avail able quotation before going to press.

Mr. W. J. Knox, an old resident of New Guinea, and Miss R. M. MacKin non, formerly matron of the Namanula hospital, were married at Buka Passage on August 15. Their hosts were Mrs. W.

Duncan, of Lalahan, and Mr. J. Long.

It was a festive and very happy occasion.

Mr. and Mrs. Knox have settled down in their island home of Mathias.
