PRICES RISING

IN CANTON

MACAO, Oct, '10 Int'l)-Com- modity prices in Canton are rising sharply owing to poor transporta- tion facilities, according to ar- rivals from Canton.

Prices of rice, fuel, ol and sugar are mounting much to the suffer- ing of the poor people who are migrating to the interior.

The Germans have made the Hotel Riviera their headquarters, congregating there daily, so much so that some of the regular rest- dents of Macao have named the place the "German Club."

Some of the "refugees" are set- ting up themselves in business; wile others are merely "marking time."

"PATRIOTIC "CHINESE

It will be interesting to note the Chinese in Macao are very patriotic and despite the many in- ducements offered by the Japanese, the type of Chinese who have so far returned to Canton is not, the type, that the Japanese so much desire.
