In conclusion the Ostasiatische Floyd says: "In auy case, it is soothing to know that in case of a Mohain medan rising in China the Sultan is in a position. to give very important help to the Allied Powers."
JOINT STOCK SHARES.
Mosina. Vernon and Smyth way in their weekly share report, dated Hongkong, 28th June--The influence of the settlement to be affected to-morrow has rendered business during the period which has elapsed since our last report very atfel, and rates have generally ruled erratic.
BANKS--Hongkong and Shanghais have been placed at 388 per cent. premium and at 390 per cent. premium, but at the close to markat appears to have receded to 3874 per cent, premium. The London rates remains at £61. 10 Nationals and Bank of Chines are unchanged at quotations.

A similar at Tis. 180. statement was made by a coolie who also was engaged on the buildings.
Inspector Baker testified to heuring of the ellato in High Strel on the 15th and said he at once hurried to the scene of disaster with as many constables us were available. At 9.30 p.m. the first body, that of Chan Chun, was found in the lasinent of No. 45, and later on the body of Wong Ming, in the debris of house No. 17.
The third body was not found till the following day.
Mr. H. 1. Tooker, executive Engineer. P.W.D., was called. He said :----
I am Acting Assistant Diretor of Public Works. On the Ib inst., I visital Nos. 45 and 47 High Street, which houses had collaped. The place of the accident was covered with deb. The debris has since been removed, and I inspected the place again three times. during the past week. These houses, Nos. 45 and 47.High Street, are two of a row, numbered from ki to 49 inclusive, which were Ander- going at the time of the accident alterations and additions. The western wall of No. 49 abuted on Centre Street. A plan under flys
of
derably
Balding Ordinance was submitted on the is of January by Mr. C. E. Warren as agent the owner. Mr. Warren describes the work is follows To construct balconies in Nos. 35 to 49 and add an additional foor to the houses The plans were acknowledged by the Public Works Department on the 20th of January this year. These houses originally only con sisted of a basement, a ground-floor, and a first Bloor. When I examined into the accident, the western wall of No. 49, which abuts on Centre Street, was considerably out and the whole of 49 was leaning considerably to the nest. About twelve feet of the wall in length had been pulled down and rebuilt, more than was shown in the plan. Two more windows had been opened in this wall on the first floor, neither having been shown in the plan. The foundation of this wall consisted of large loose rubble stones, undressed, and its basement consisted of rubble masonry, very bally built, without mortar. In it were large envities into which I could put my hand. I attribute the cause of the accident to the bas sinte of the base of the western wall of No. 49, and the insuficiency of this wall and of its foundation to carry bay additional floor. When plan is submitted to the Public Works Department, it is simply the duty of the Depart ment te soe that the work shown on the plan is in accordance with the Building Ordinance, of opinion that the additional brick-work of the western wall of No, 49 and the addition of two windows on the first. floor which were not on the plan would have helped to cause the accident.
His Worship:-Bat the buildings would hayo collapsed anyhow
Mr. Tooker:Yes, probably.
Mr. C. E. Warren stated that he was an architect and contractor.
His Worship: Where you not formerly in the Sanitary Department
Mr. Warron: Yes.
His Worship: When did you leave ? Mr. Warren Last December. His Worship: Where were you previous to being in the Sanitary Department?
Mr. Warren: I was in the Public Works Papartment for six years.

And though the universally expressed opinion was that there was no danger at any time that the Mohammedans of China would raise the flag of rebellion, still we are convinced that the mission was not without its boueficent results.

Trade with China-During the past few years there has been a remarkable growth in the tradă between Japan and China occasioned for the most part by the opening up of markets for Japanese manufactures in the neighbouring Empire.
