CANTON SILK MARKET REPORT.
The past week has been quiet, with a moderate business doing for Lyons in the higher grades.
The London Daily Telegraph re- There have been some inquiries cently published details of a scheme from New York, but the prices for the formation of a native force, officered by British non-commission offered by buyers were too low, and- drawn up by the no business resulted." However, the Shipping companies trading in the Far East, with the suggestion that New York prices show some im- the present arrangement as toprovement on those quoted a wesk military guards should be continu-ago.

Frofit Taking.
Much of to-day's selling repre- sented the usual profit-taking which is always present at the end of any week where a slump does not prevent such a course. Traders were somewhat heartened as a result of
President Hoover's statement on labour, in which he minimized talk of widespread unemployment, but much of this talk had already been discounted by traders who had in vestigated the situation for them selves.
The Dow Jones average for 20 rails was off,17, to 152.43, with New York Central holding at 1841, Erie off to w, Southern Pacific off 1 to 120, but Union Pacific up to 225, Missouri Pacific up to 50 and Canadian Pacific up to 2041.
For 20 utilities, the Dow Jones average was up 33 to 100.71. Con- solidated Gas of New York fell off A to 120. Columbia Gas and Electric
last month.
A director of Messrs. John Swire and Sons, Ltd., managers of the China Navigation Co., Ltd., out- lined the scheme and the circum- stances lending up to it in an in- terview with a representative of the Daily Telegraph.
"Since the Anking piracy in the autumn of 1928, armed guards of British soldiers, under an officer or an 1.0.0 have been supplied by the garrisons in Hong Kong or Singapore, or hy the Shanghai De- fence Force, to a certain propor tion of British ships sailing from Hong Kong northward, or from China to the Straits. But guards have not been provided for all those ships which needed them.
"Ships without guards sailing northward from Hong Kong have in many cases had to refuse to carry Chinese passengera or treasure, and whenever a guard has not beer available for a southbound ship, passenger earnings, which form the bulk of their earnings, have been nrejudiced. In no single instance has piracy been attempted in a ship with guard of British soldiers."
Exigencies of Training, "Of recent months. on account of the exigencies of training the troops, there has been difficulty in supplying with guards even those ships which had hitherto had them, As long ago as last summer, the British authorities informed the stenuship companies that, on count of troop movements, there' would be no guards available after April 1, but the companies have found no efficient alternative to arined guards of soldiers.
