One of the worst foes we met were the gals, which were always accompanied by hail and snow. temperature in these regions falls to 36 de grees below freezing point, and one cannot ovon get warm by rapid murching.

BOER PRISONERS EXPECTED IN INDIA.
Calcatta, 30th January. The Indian Daily News of the 29th inst state that the present unrest in the Gape Colony has increased the difficulty of guarding the Boer prisers there. It is stated on good authority that Lord Kitchoner has addressed an urgent request to Lard Roberts rospecting the wholesale deportation of these people from unication with the Viceroy of India and the the subject of detaining a large number of Boer prisoners in India. It is believed that it hus been settled that 10,000 Boer prisoners will soon leave Cape Town and he landed in Bombay end forwarded to the Nigiri Hills, where it is proposed to keep them in confinement.

June, 1900, fixed deposits in silver and gold together show a decline of $10,571,344, masinly owing to the enhanced value of money in Lon don, enabling depositors to find investments yielding increased rates of interest and to the withdrawal of Government funds temporarily on deposit with us. Our silver deposits and current accounts together show an increase of $856,632.

Consols for a similar amount of War Loun. Under the heading of consols, colonial and other securities, there is an increase of $1,195,358, mainly owing to au allotinent of £100,000 of the War Loan which we applied for. These securities have been written down to the prices ruling on the 31st December. Bills discounted, bills payable and bills receivable all show a shrinkage on the dgures given in the last report. The stagna- tion of business in the North of China fally accounts for the falling off. Indeed, a very much more serion interruption of business than we have experienced might have been expected. Cash and bullion in hand and tran- sit were unusually large at the end of the year. At this time last year, from this chair, your attention was dimeted to the important and increasing trade interests in the north of China, and their palpable expansion with the extension of railway enterprise in that region. Unfortun- stely, the outbreaksgainst foreigners has rudely disturbed for the time being this most desirable advance in commercial aspects there, but when the present negotiations are satisfactorily con- cluded and the country has had time to recover from the ravages of war and famine, I make no donbt that all favourable predictions will be amply fulfilled. Central and Southern China have, fortunately, been spared the horrors of war and want, but in the unsettled state of the political stmcsphere there has naturally been a dimination of credit in native circles, which has told unfavourably upon the import trade and curtailed the off-take very considerably, making a serious difference to importers.
