Owing to inability to collect outstanding accounts a score of shops are in much difficulty, and it is feared that on the coming settling day, (15th day of the 8th moon) numerous failures will take place. Natives generally obtain their goods on credit and retail them also on credit, but with the present hard times buyers keep aloof from the shopmen, who have either to pay for their goods or go into bankruptcy.

We have first to take account of the absolute purity of the air at sea. In this respect the sea voyage stands alone, and must be accorded the palm even over sanatmia situated among the mountains or upon the desert. No doubt this purity of the air prevails only upon deck, and the atmosphere in the saloons and sleeping cabins often becomes foul, especially during the preva lence of rough weather. But the average pro- portion of time spent upon deck is very high. In fine weather there is nothing to prevent the voyager from being almost continuously on deck except during meals, from 8 am, to 10 p.m. The equability of the ocean climate is such that no chill is felt at sundown, and even a delicate invalid can, in the warm latitudes, remain on deck after sunset without risk. It would be difficult to name any sanatorium ashore where the same amount of open air life can be In the course of a speech at the annual enjoyed with impunity.
