people of Chihil not only produce much oplum, but consume it at their own doors, and will continue to do so most probably to a Increasing extent, unless Indian" opium falls in price, since even the wailthy people who now consume the latter held back so soon as prices rive, as they have dopo of late.

Relative to the question of the tendency of Indian oplem to decline, because, old smokers dying off, the younger generation of smokers, accustomed to native optam, do not take to Indian oplum, Mr. McKean stated;—
"This phase of the declina iz touched on indirectly in the Newchwing report, in which it It stated that the Indira article is imported solely to satisfy the demand of southern residents: the well-to-do Newchwang smokers do not want the Indian article. So, also, the Tientsin report remarks that the wealthy classes at Peking having once acquired the taste for Indian oplum are not likely to change that taste, the cost being to them a matter of small concern. But the Inference is that the present generation of young smokers, beginning perhaps with native oplum because it is cheaper, and familiar with its taste, „will not change by-and-by to the dearer article, when the generation which makes the latter has passed away.

"Messrs. E. D. Sassoon & Co.” state that the high prices of foreign oplum which have ruled during the t'erlod referred to have possibly con- tributed towards checking the consumption, but there can be na drobt that the continued and anequal struggle beten it and the native drug 1s to a great extent resp neible for it.

Co who very obligingly put themselves to some frouble In praiecering inquiries, state that the Consensus of epision, from which they see no yeason to distent, is that the decrease lo the Import of foreign oplam is to be attributed to the following causes
1.- The large and, as some term it, prohibi- - tarý tax levied under the Chefoo Convention before the opiam can be landed, thus rendering it too expensive an article to be freely purchased by the Chinese consumer. 2. That although Likin was formerly paid an farrin ep'um, yet the system upon which Likin was then collected did not operate so te ju fously agalast (orelgas oplum as does the present one, for the reason that there was a certain rivalry between the Likin farmers in dfierent districts, who -endeavoured by reduclog the tax to attract the oplum in their direction, 3-The marked incressa in the area planted with the poppy and the Improvement in the preparation of the drug by the Chloess. "It appears to me, from the inquiries that I have myself made, that this last cause, 4g, the in« creased cultivation and improved manufacture of the native drog, has had more weight than any other la bringing about the decrease in the Importation of foreign oplam. Nativo growers and manufacturers are gradually golelog experience, and employing better methods are rapidly assimilating the production, both in sirength and flavour, to the foreign article. The native drug pays but a'amall-tix of some Tis, zo to The. 30 per picol (it is nominally Tis. 43, but reductions are made), when it is not smuggled, and as the quality Improves it is evident that forelga oplum must give way before it. I am informed on good authority that a considerable quantity of native oðtum is now sans into the interior as Mahwa, the inside of each ball of Molwa being scooped out and replaced with: native opium. Though this deception could not be imposed upon an expert, it is sufficient to take in the country dealers. The fraud is made somewhat easier by the fact that the qualliy of Malwa hur, it is said, depreciated from some cause unknown, and i li principally Malwa oplam that is belag superseded by the națiṛa drug.
"It is estimated that the districts of Tang-sham, Feng, Hsiao and Pel, in the north of Klangin, now produce oplum of excellent quality, asusting in value annually to Tir. 500,000; large quanilly of opium of inferior quality is also grown in the neighbouring districia.
"I may add that I have made a point of ques- tioning a number of people as to the effect of the distress in the north of China upon the oplum trade here, and I am stored that it hat mot
