New CROP Rains having again set in, it is hoped that crops which suffered from dry weather in some districts will re- cover.

SAIGON/PHILIPPINES.-There has been no inquiry whatever. The new rice crop is now being harvested and is in excellent condition. Already some all lots of new crop are being sold that there is not likely to be much demand for Saigon rice during the next few months.

The number of these chests exported In all 12,107 during the year was 513. chests were imported and lodged in the Bombay opium warehouses during the year under report, against 9,010) chests during the preceding year. Out of these and the balance of 2,9024 chests in stock on April 1st, 1911, 14,035 chests were ox- ported to China, representing an increase of 7,325 cheats exported to China as com- pared with the decrease of 6,481 chests inployed, rates having advanced to 35 cents the previous year. This is due to the fact that out of the 15,580 chests permitted to he exported to China in the calendar year 1911 10,666) chests were shipped in the last nine months of that year as compared with 1,800 chests shipped during the same period in 1910. In the current year, in the other hand, owing to the overstocked markets in China, only 3,370 chests were exported in the first three months, as against 4,921 chests exported during the same period of last year (1911), leaving a balance of 11,181 chests to be exported in the following nine months.

The extensive enlargements to this factory, recently completed, have already proved inadequate to eapply the rapidly increasing demand for the Visible Remington Models, and contracts have just been let for another and even vaster addition to the works.
For 10 months of 1911 our business has been larger than for the whole 12 months of any year sinco the beginning.

We are informed that a large number of demand-notes for Municipal Taxes havo heen distributed by the Yokohama City Ofice among the foreign houses ou Ferpetual Leasehold Property on the Bluff, and we warn foreigners against paying such undue demands. The Muni- cipal Taxes due in respect of Perpetual Lease Property on the Bluff and in the Sestlement have already been paid in the form of ground-rent, and any attempt to collect them twice will be steadily resisted by the Leaseholders' Committee. This attempt has frequently been made by Municipal authorities in the past, but without authorization of the Central Government, and has only given trouble to both parties concerned. A little varia-

Of course, the Municipal authorities are aware this claim is a diplomatic question, and know that the foreign leaseholders are acting with the full concurrence of their diplomatic representatives, but they nevertheless persist in thus flying in the face of their own Central Government. It seems that some underlings in the City Offices are hoping that the foreign ladice to whom the demand-notes are presented in the absence of the head of the house may be frightened by the distraint clause into paying. Once paid, there would he endless difficulty in recovering

It may be added that the onus of the delay in settling this matter lies wholly upon the Japanese Government. .
The Japan Mail expresses the opinion that whatever may be the case in regard to the House Tax it is extremely doubtful whether, so far as Yokohama is con- cerned, the agreements were ever intended to include municipal taxes."
