Ablaze After 300 Years
(N Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, January 12. Fire broke out last night in the only building in The Strand which survived the Great Fire of London in 1666. The building, today the home of the “Wig and Pen Club,” frequented by lawyers and journalists, was damaged before the flames were brought under control.
Diners in the basement restaurant and members in the upstairs bar had to make a hasty exit. No-one was hurt.
Wool Firm.— All Merinos, comebacks and fine and strong crossbreds ruled fully firm on pre-Christmas closing levels at todays Portland sales, the Portland Woolbrokers’ Association reported.—Melbourne January 12.
