The native will have his goods cheap, and it is surprising that in Northern Siam Great Britain can surpass continental competitors in the matter of low prices. A Swiss firm estab- lished Chiengmal finds that England can supply many things cheaper even than Ger- many, and the bulk of the firm's imports, such as cotton prints and cotton twist and yarn, whisky and gin, towels, tinned provisions, hard- ware, hosiery and saddlery, and shoes, are of English manufacture. In prints England is unrivalled, and nothing from any other country can undersell the products of Manchester. In() twist and yarn ton, she still holds the first place; but imports from India are increasing. In an official report of the Belgian Consul, published as long ago as the year 1897, he says:"Above all, there is the essential condi tion which should be impressed upon all who have, or wish to have, dealings with Siam, viz., the absolute necessity of knowing the English language English is the language spoken at Bangkok all commercial and social rela- fish fluently should not go to Siam." tions; those who cannot write and speak Eng
27 FIRATES EXECUTED AT CHEFOO. (Special telegram to China Gazelle.)
CHEFOO, June 1st. We have been having wholesale executions of pirates this week. The other day the little Chinese gunboat Chinkai, which has only two muzzle loader guns on board, tackled and cap tured four piratical junks just outside, bringing back nearly thirty desperadoes of whom thor: work has been made. On Tuesday it were, executed on the jetty and two days later 18 of their companions, followed them across the Styx. It was a ghastly affair owing to the unusual clumsiness of the executioner, who had literally to saw off more than one wreiched victim's head, and hit some cases when he made his stroke at the v ctim's neck he only succeed. ed, so poor was his skill, in taking a little bit off the top" of the wretch's cranium.

In the Straits Settlements the British mer. chant appears to have held his own and more, though the figures given are rather belated, referring to the trade of 1599:-Comparing the United Kingdom as provider with the Contin- ent and the United States, it appears that the Mother Country, when telegraph materials are excluded, increased her hold by 301 per cent. in value, the Continent by about 141 per cent... while the United States shows a fairly sub- stantial increase; but it is possible that full justice is not done to the last-named country, goods coming occasionally from Hongkong, and even from the United Kingdom, which are of American production.

TRADE OF SOUT:[-EAST ASIA.
A valuable report on the trade and shipping of South-East Asia has been recently issfied by the Commercial, Labour and Statistical Depart ment of the Board of Trade, it has been com piled by Mr. T. Worthington from various official documents, and is prefaced by an admirable sketch map. The report deals with the trade of French Indo-China, Siam, the Straits Settlements and the 'British and Dutchment, including silk worms, pearls, teak, petro possessions in the East Indies.

The decreased value of imports from the Dutch East Indies, may be said to be entirely, due to smaller shipments of sugar, the value of these shipments having been only £87,000 in 1849, as compared with £676,000 in 1895.

In the Royal Academy. Exhibition this year there are no pictures having reference to scenes or incidents in the Far East. The exhibition is, nevertheless, a remaskable one in more ways than one. It is notable for the dignified and touching manner in which the national sorrow is re-echoed within its walls. It is proclaimed with thrilling solemnity in the principal room, where we find in the place of honour, framed in oak and surrounded by mourning draperies of sable and purple, the magnificent portrait of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria by M. Benjamin Constant Glancing through the archway at the end saloon, the theme is once more taken up by the Manchester Memorial, in marble and bronze to Her late Majesty Queen Victoria by Mr. E. Onslow Ford. Again, with scarcely moving from our position in front of the wonderful "portrait of the great Queen and Empress, and directing our attention to Gallery IV., do we find the sad dirge still rendered with exquisite feeling and refined tenderness in the poetical "Passing of a Great Queen," by Mr. W. L. Wyllie, and in the finely-grouped, mournfully realistic "Second of February, 1901," by Mr. John Chariton The collection is, moreover, dis tinguished by being smaller than usual-which | Chinese-21st of 4th moon of a7th year 'of is undoubtedly a step in the right direction the number of exhibits boing a35 less than Jast year; and in the fact that so many of the pictures are absolutely up-to-date.

Of the French possessions, Cochin China is stated to be the most prosperous; its revenue is sufficient to provide for all the expenses of government, to maintain a native regiment, to repay the mother country the cost of conquest, and to bear its share of the expenses of the new Laotian colony. Indo-China, as a whole, is the great exporting region of rice, the three principal markers being points on the fertile deltas of the Mekong, Menam, and Irrawaddy, 4., Saigon, in Cochin China, Bangkok, in Siam, and Rangoon, in Lower Burmah. The quantity of rice annually exported from Cochin China amounts to about 700,000 tons, the greater part of which goes to japan, but some also to Europe, and the export duty levied on rice is one of the chief sources of revenue.
