NOTICE TO CONSIGNEES,
We are fall and reliable information about only twoof the provinces-Shansi and Yunnan and the annexes to Mr. Max Müller's report furnish eloquent testimony of the good work that has been done in both At the opposite extreme stand Shensi, Kaneu, Hupei, and Szechuan, in all of which comparatively little has been accomplished to check either the con- sumption or cultivation of the drug. The last named province, which is by far the largest. producing area in the Empire, will farmish the supreme test of the saccess or failure of the programme of total prohibition, and as the order Bs gone forth that no poppy is to be sown this autumn, the issue on which so much depends is doubtless being fought out as this report is being written.
