on.
If such a trade were permitted to be es- tablished the possible effects on the. Straits might be disastrous. The smelting and refining of tin in America would be consi dered as a new industry. Protection would eventually be sought, and could not be re- fused. An import duty on the metallic tin. as shipped from the Straits would be im- posed. And forthwith the American market, by the more operation of such a duty, would be closed to everyone but the American smelters.
The effect on the Straits can easily be estimated. At present America consumes 70% of the whole of the Straits production, the comsumption is rapidly growing, and in a few years will probably equal the Straits output. If the Straits have to find an out- let for at least 7% of their production through the single channel of the American smelters, what will be the position of the Tir. mines vis-a-vis the American smelter? Obviously, the position will be at the mercy of the exporter of ore, as the 'man' who buys 70 per cent of the production will be able to make prices what a likes, s agaiust the buyers of 3 per cent, and the miner. It is also obvious that whereas the Straits now possesses ample facilities for smelting a much larger production than now exists, the removal from the Straits of 77% of the ore would cause the disappearance of full two- TRAVELLING TRUNKS, BOOKS, CLOTHING, thirds of such smelting facilities, and if this occurred the position of the miner would got worse and worse.

INGA DE ENCE OF THE BOARD
POLICE PECULIARITIES-THE CRUSADE
AGAINST THE Publicans,
To the unprejudiced observer who has calmly studied current events during the past few weeks, it would appear as though many of the residents of Hongkong have not a full and complete appreciation of the Board which has been appointed to rule over their sanitary destinies. Some have boen railing and storming against the members in terms of indignation must pro- found; have rushed headlong into print, and, in columns of small cold type, above noms de plume almost as convincing, and influential as Pro bono publico and Puter familias, have sought to pillory the Board its doings up to public ridiculo and contempt. Let it bo at once understood that the writer does not hold a brief for the Board. He is animated by nothing more than a desire to seo the Board hare a fair and squaro deal to point out to the dull minds of those who see it not that the members are acting strictly within their province, and in accordance with their obvious duty, in assisting in the cultivation and propagation of a healthy breed of mosquito on the

THE YARN MARKET.
In their fortnightly report dated the 22nd May. Messrs Chwasjeo Pallanjee and Co, write :-
Six thousand one hundred and ninety-two (6,192) steamers, 17 sailing vessels, 1820 steam launches, and 17,978 Junks in foreign trade entered during the year, giving a daily average of 71.2, as against 67 6 in 1901 For European constructed vo, sols, the daily average would be 17.1 as against 14.8 in 1901,
for an increase of 697 ships of 157,539 tons, which leaves a net decrease of 10 occan-going ships with an increase in tonnage of 200,009 tons. The fall of 10 oclan-going vessels is a genuine decrease, which loses a portion of its significance evidenced by the increase of tonnage, is borne in mind.

Hongkong Tides. The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an sử- tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during
the years 1887-8-9.
The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty
Charts which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean sea level.
To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to
the height given in the table.
