SHANGHAI NEW MARKETS AND
·DRILL HALLA
The finishing touches are now being put to the fine piece of Municipal work which has been slowly approaching completion in the shape of the Public: Markets and Volunteer Drill Hall in the Nanking Road, Shanghai, We have already described the Chinese portion of the market, which has been in successful operation for some time. Within a few days, the foreign market on the Nanking Road frontage which opened the other day, will be in full swing and the confidence. felt in it is wall shown by the fact that many of the, shops and stalls have been taken by market men and bear ..temporary cards promising early tenancy
The general effect of the fine red brick and Ningpo stane structure on the south side of the Nanking Road is decidedly pleasing although the design is practical and devoid of obtrusive ornamentation. The original drawing provided for a tower to surmount the centre; but this was | cut out on the score of economy, as it represented. an extra expenditure of some Tls. 10,000. The total area of the site covered by the buildings, including the Chinese markets in the rear, is 42,938 superficial feel. It is bounded on the north by the Nanking Road, south by the King kiang Road, cast by the Kwangse Road, and west by Kweichow Road, Entering from the Nanking Road we come into the foreign market, which has a liglf and airy appearance. There are some 33 shops of various dimensions, whilst there is accommodation for about 44 hawkers in the avenues between the shops, The fronts of the shops let down so as to form counters for the display of fruit, vegclables, etc., and all are arranged so that they can be locked up at night. A plentiful supply o water is furnished, and the artifical lighting will

and when the car reached Chongne, stones were thrown at the motorman and the conduce tor, who having no means of resistance, fed for safety. The car, thus left in the hands of the mob, was battered to pieces and theses on fire Another car likewise was attacked and grecked Then the cry was raised to demolish the power house, but the ardour of the mob cooled before the East gate was reached and by the exercise of a little care on the part of the authorities, damage to the building and machinery was prevented.
The motor men being Japanese, are infrais to return to their work unless protected by Japanese police. This, the Korean company refuses to allow. Since the 27th, therefore, the cars have not been running. The matter, we understand, is in the hands of the Japanese Consul, and we hope he will persuade his nationals to return to the work for which they came to Korea and that the cars will soon be running again.
Some surprise is heardainong foreigners that cars should be run without the gong and lender." It is die to Messrs. Colbran and Bostwick to say that the company was persistent in having the cars run even though these necessary appli ances were unattached. The company, there. fore, must assume thorough responsibility, though our own opinion is that every precaution was taken to avoid accidents-Korean Re. poritenge

China has not played her cards in a way to inspire confidence that she would defend herself even if she had the troops.

The flying. acts of the two girl trapezists and three excel- lent acrobats elecit the loudest applause, though the funny action of the first-rate clowns tickles immensely, Excitement rose quite to a height over the bare-back riders performances last night, the spectators being carried away by the pace. A week's run without any change in the programme is rather a stiff pull for Tientsin, but it is standing pretty well. I doubt if the place will pay for more than a two weeks' stay, though they talk of a month.

THE WEATHER IN KOBE. During the past twenty-four hours says the Kobe Herald of the 8th, we have had another heavy rain storm, and at one time it seemed not unlikely that the port would have a repeti. tion of last Saturday's gale. So far, however, the wind has not risen noticeably, and there has been no sea to speak of in the harbour, though a heavy sea has been running outside and in Hiogo Bay. Very heavy rain has fallen for some hours and this afternoon the streets of the Settlement and the castern end of Motoma chi have been flooded. Some of the streets are almost knee-deep. At Anamon, at the time writing, water is pouring down the street in a torrent and at Sannomiya also the road is impassable. The drain at the North-eastern end of the Settlement was recently enlarged, but it is apparently still not large enough to carry off the immense volume of water for which provision has to be made in the rainy season. The rainy season, by the way, has set in somewhat early this year."

TIENTSIN, June 6t
Seau has an electric railway. Last year a Korean company was organized with the Hon. Yi Cha Vun as President to build an electric railroad from the residence of the Governor of Scour outside the new West Gate through the heart of the city, out of the East Gate to the new tomb of Empress Alin. The contract was awarded to Messrs. Colbran and Bostwick original con- tractors of the Seoul Chemulpo Railroad.
Work was comisienced at once, the track was laid last fall, and the power-house was built. As soon as the machinery and cars arrived there was much curiosity in the company as well as among the people to see the cars running. The 1st inst, was set as opening day, but a slight ac

For several days the ears ran with more or less regularity and large crowds availed themselves of the opportunity to ride on the cars. The car ran only on a part of the road, from the East Gate to the old Mul berry palace. The receipts for few days nmounted to a hundred dollars. This no doubt is in excess of what the average will be when once the novelty has worn of

A CASH PROBLEM:"
The Tientsin Prefect has addressed a memó- rial to the Viceroy respecting the fixing of the rate of cash exchange. His proposal is on the principle that the exchange shops must have some squeeze, and that it is best to recognise the fact without blinking, and make allowance for it. He suggests therefore, that the rate of exchange for dollars or dollar nutes taken to the exchange shops to be cashed shall be 995, not less, thus giving the exchange shop a profit of 5 cash per dollar. If cash be taken and dollars or notes asked in exchange, the price paid must be 1,005 cash, again in order to afford the exchange shops a profit. In the same way a ro cent piece must realize 95 caslí and ros cash a to cent piece. Few people will cavil at this arrangement if it receives the Viceroy's approval, as anyone will gladly pay- the modest charge of such a rate, and have the. price of exchange rendered stable in perference in the present condition of affairs, and we hope the memorial will receive the Viceroy's heartiest endorsement and be rigidly enforced by the authorities. After a miserable 750 or Boo cash exchange 995 cash to the dollar will represent wealth and plentitude.-P. & T. Tintes,

The Woods valve is admitted to be the inost perfect form of valve for pneumatic tyres. After the dust cap hasilieen removed and the pump nozzle connected, no screwing or unscrewing is necessary, to allow the inflation of the tyre. When inflation ceases the valve closes itself automatically without any escape of air what- ever taking place. Great care has been bestowed upon is manufacture to render it air-tight, and but for the occasional renewing at very long interrals of the rubber sleeve (ant operation which can be performed by the variest novice in a few seconds) it requires no attention whatever
