The China stalls are well worth a visit this year, the pottery and porcelain figures being better day have been displayed for some time. One stall in particular, where the little pottery figures which the Chinese dot about theirminia ture gardens and grottos are sold, is particularly worthy of note. Besides a very fine collection of nature pagodas, bridges, mer, women and animals this stall displays a series of six crock- ery figures representing a dragon procession The attitudes are capital and the colours first rate. Flower pots are on view in all shapes, sizes and colours and small pots used for hang- ing on the wall and growing the arum lily so popular in China are there in infinite variety, There are also some very pretty porcelain in- cence jars to be obtained, and any visitor to the Colony who wants to lay in a stock of Chinese cups, teapots, spoons, etc, should certainly pay | a visit to Jervois Street.

THE SHIPPING CONFERENCE,
The Brilish Trade Review of Jan, Ist con-
tains the following interesting article on the Shipping Conference and Eastern Trade:-
Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settlements,
who discusses at some length in his last report the effects on the trade of the Far East of the "conference" of shipowners to raise freights. He says that homeward freights are now con- called by this body, and that the abnormally high rates of 1898 were still further increased in 1900, and are a heavy burden on the producers of bulky and low priced goods, such as trapioca. "There is little doubt that the conference is driving away trade from our ports, merchandise that was formerly sent to Singapore for tranship- ment being now sent direct to Europe. The effect of the conference is not felt so severely TIME NEW YEAR FAIR,

HOW MANCHESTER FIGHTS THE CONFERENCE,
Sacks and woolen comlorters seem to be a great article of trade just 2: present and the lues in which they may be obtained are beyond number. You can buy cotton, shoddy, wool, worsted or silk sacks, in red, white, blue, green, violet, orange, pink, yellow or in combination of any of these colours you like to name, and, at the same time, you can get a pair of garters to match or to form a striking contrast. Think of the tasty appearance of green shoes, yellow and red striped socks and brilliant turquoise blue gutters. The bare idea is enough to enchant any lover of colour. As for woolen comforters you have only to go to Jervois Street to see what can be produced in this line of goods. If you want to present your wife with a neat thing in green and violet, that is the place to go to, and, besides, they are much cheaper than fur boas and ten times richer in tone.

To those Hongkong residents who have an aftemoon to spare and to visitors to the Colony who wish to see something new and strange, we would say go and see the New Year's display.
