Business is already established in Shanghai, and it is understood that the Commission has adopted the view that in its general aspects the port should remain as at present. There will. probably, be important recommendations As to the depth of water to be secured for the port in future and work on the pproaches commendations will be learned It may be remembered that suggestions were current that Hang chow Bay or some other site should be, selected as the proper venue, and therë is reason to believe these have not re- commended themselves to the Commis- sion.

COTTON FOR CHINA.
A substantial improvement has taken place in business in cotton. for China, a market second only in importance to India. In the last three months, and capecially in the last six weeks, Shanghai has been buying in Manchester with some spirit and confidence, and there is a prospect of still more liberal commit ments being arranged before Christma Certain very influential houses who ship to the Far East have put down heavy quantities of cloth and of yarn. There is no doubt that China ia short of Mr. A. W.

A REMARKET LETTER,
China ports and commercial centres brisker and prices there hardening con currently with the advances in silver and the sterling value of the tael, the situa tion has changed for the better. The position of merchant-dealers is very dif ferent from what it was six months ago.
An examination of the prices which are
being realised in China for Lancashire cloth indicates clearly the improvement in the situation. For Lancashire grey shirtings, for instance, sellers are get- ting the equivalent of an advance of three or four shillings per piece (costing about £1) over the rate ruling in March. They get a further advantage of about the same amount from, the rise of ex- change. The Times Trade Supplement.

Ezra versus Isaac: Ezra, the Philippine Banking Act in two cases, in which the plaintiff nake for an equity involving indirect loans to himself while of redemption on certain properties an official of the Bank. In the one case, which he alleges he mortgaged to his which is connected with the Binalbagan leges that the properties, were definitely to two years imprisonment and to, a brother, the defendant who in turn Estate, General Concepcion was sentenced assigned to him and that the sale was fine of 5,000 pesos. In the other case, completed.
which was connected with the Philippine Vegetable Oil Co., the sentence was a fine of 5,000 pesos. the prosecution
A feature of the cross-examinn of the plaintiff was the production of the following letter which he wrote to his, brother before taking the action¡—
2nd May, 1991, Dran IGAAgI am writing this just because you happen to be my brother and not because you deserve the slightest con- sideration. I have given my lawyers definite instructions to proceed-to-mor- Tow. The evidence I have will not give you the slightest chance of success.
It has been my ambition to help all those who I have come in contact with. I believe ope's mere existente. should be such that when one leaves the world, that this short sojourn in thin world, should be such that he has left it a little better behind.
In the latter case proved that bank money had been lent to the oil company and later General Concepcion received shares of the com pany stocks. In the former case it was proved that money had been lent to the estate, which was later handed over to another company in which General Con cepcion was & part-owner. An appeal is anticipated.
