The tastes and tendencias of foreign markets are evor changing under the influence of new ashions and advancing ideas as to mode of iving. Unbleached and plain white goods were orlaps the articles in which the export trado of Lancashire at first mainly dorelojed. Even under these heads, with the exception of lust year in groys, owing to special circumstances as to the supply of cotton known to all, the quantities have been fairly maintained, and I believe that there has been an important
THE Undersigned have received instructions advance in the character of the Konds which these classes embrace, say in the direction of figure and bordered goods. But who we turn to the other classes, say printed and dyed and coloured goods, we see more fully the advance that has been taking place. Grey goods may be taken as typical of our early shipments la foreign countries, but these countries have been advancing, the people who were formerly content to wear grey calicoes want now some thing better, and our Lancashire producers have boon alive to the fact in supplying the higher classes of printed and coloured goods. which are now also wanted. All this bas meant increased labour in multiplied processes, and increased employment for the people, and it is not wonderful that, with the knowledge of those facts patent to their own observation, the people of Lancashire laugh at the attempts of Protectionists to convince them that their trade is going back. The increase in dyed and coloured goods, which in 1889 showed a value of £8,122,623, while last year it showed. £13,605,387, is perhaps the most remarkable of all. Formerly this trade was mainly in the hands of a limited number of big producers, but now it is widely spread, not only in Lan- cashire, but also in Yorkshire, and among a host of small producers, who have found in ita suitablo trade. It is singular to find that this branch of cotton manufactures, in which our Continental competitors were supposed to be advancing most, is the one in which the increase in England has been greatest. Our home trade houses perhaps at timous see the dumping of these Continental-made goods upon our English market, but they don't see the dumping of bayers for Continental firms with connections abroad who come here to got the goods that sell best in foreign markets, because of their cheap

thes must modern lines, providing excellent, accommodation for pathological work of any description. During the past year, the greater part of the work has been carried out at the Mortuary owing to the want of a Bacteriologieni Laboratory. It is hoped that this will soon le finished and that the accommodation and equipment there will be such as to allow of the most varied bacteriological research. apporatna for the equipment of such a labora- terg is at prosent stored at the Public Mortuary; so that with the erection of the building there need ho zó delay in starting research work. Such haeturinlogical work requiring to be dansduring the past year has hoon tome at the Mortuary. The tempoury labora !tory ju the Kennedy Town Infections Disensos Hospital was found to be inconvenient, and during the epidemic of plague would have in- terfered with the carrying out of the then some- what arduous duties of the offers in charge of

Throughout the your the Sanitary Depart- mont have readored most vaballo assistance in regard to the cleansing of this Pablic Mortuary. During the your. 2,325 human bodies were examined at the Public Mortuary, figures represent a rifler smaller number than during 1902. This is accounted for by the establishment of a Mortuary in Kowloon and the absence of an epidemic of cholera which swelled the figures during 1902.
During the past year a considerable amount of attention has been directed to pathological research, combined with bacteriological tests where pecessary.
Plague has beox dealt with as shortly as possible, as it is proposed to deal with the subject in a special Report. containing a resumé research and experimental work done in 1903.
of
101,056 rats have been examined bacteriologi cally. Of these, 3.744 were found to be infected with plague. A large number of
off or animals have been examined for plague with positive results in many instances.
The question of the coufasion of fowl cholera with plagus in the absence of a detailed examination arose. It is proposed to go more
fully into the matter.
The preparation of smull-pox ruccine has been successfully prosocated. 7,074 tubes were prepared during the year, an increase over 1002 of 5,422. A grout increase in the sale of lymph was noted during the year. Compared with 1902 there was an increase of 1,841 tubes, and a similar increase of $584 paid into the Bank So far as I know the lymph has given satisfac. tery results and has been in demand not only in Hongkong but also in ports along the coast.
A cattle disease was investigated during the year. A preliminary Report was published by Mr. Gibson and myself, showing the disease to be a form of Seplicamia Hemorrhagica and to have no connection with what is known as true rinderpest.
