(bt cable—press association—corrtUGnT.) (AUSTRALIAN AXD X.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, June 29. In the House of Commons, replying to questions in regard to the attendance at the Empire Exhibition, Mr A. M. Samuel (Under-Secrotary for Overseas Trado) said the Exhibition authorities had informed him that the number of visitors in 1924, when tho price of admission was reduced after fivo o'clock in the evening, was insufficient to warrant its rc-introduction. Tho average daily attendance from May 15th to Juno 15th was 00,505, the highest and tho lowest figures being 243,292 and 33,944 respectively. The corresponding figures last year were an average of 102,403, the highest figure being 231,332, and tho lowest 25,784.
He understood that tho Exhibition authorities were devoting as much of their resources as possible to publicity.
