NATIVE DISTURBANCES AND
COMMERCIAL REPORTS.
on the increase it Laving amounted to 45043,133 taels, the second largest on record, or an increase in twelve years from 15,000,000 taels in 1890 to over 45,000,000 tels in 1901, one of the largest exports is brown and white sugar, which shows a falling-off, in comparison with 1899, from £1,125,971 to £859.437. This, he says, ir "almost entirely due to the disturbed state of the country round Newchwang, a most import÷" ant market for Swalow sugar. The import of white shirtings being also affected in the same way, it will be seen that the unsatisfactory state of things in Manchuria is responsible för much loss to both the import and export trades of Swatow."
Other treaty ports report similarly, and it is to be hoped that the disturbances-will soon be quelled, and that peace and pros- perity will spread not only in the parts more closely associated with foreign trade, but throughout the whole Empire so that China and her great possibilities may be seen to their best advantage.

The wages, $148, had been previously agreed to by the owners, so regarding the expenses alone a decision was required.
From the evidence tendered, it appears that the plaintiff applied in person for the position of foreman fitter previous to May 13th, when he received a letter offering him the position. Later he accepted, but gocertain conditions, one being that heshould be provided with quarte:s. In due course, he was employed, but the free quarters not being ready, Mr. Alexander lemporarily resided outside and was to receiva an allowance for doing so. He ascertained afterwards that he would have to share a room with another man and be told Mr. Kidd, to whom he was subordinate, that, in all the jobs he had undertaken in the East he had always had a room to himself. Subsequently it Appears, that Mr. Alexander was informed he would have to take his chance with the rest. He however, objected to live in a room with another. Later he received a monili's notice to quit employment, no reasons being stated. When he came to leave, however, a discuss sion arose regarding outside expenses; the defendants offered only Szo and then $33 for the whole of his outside allowance.
Mr. Haraton, in working up the outside allow ance in question, commenced with ricksha expences, but Mr. Grist objected on the ground of its being unreasonable, and His Lordship agreeing with him said that he would not allow ared cent for rickshas.
The Diplomatic and Consular reports on the trade of the Treaty Ports for the year gor, are 10 hand and generally speaking, indicate a very satisfactory expansion in every direction
One of the most interesting is that of Wuchow respecting which Mr. Acting Consul LITLE: says that in spite of some adverse circumstances the trade of the port made a substantial advance on the previous year, the total value rising from £1,015,000 to £1,109,500, including £724 for re experts, or an increase of nearly 10 per rent. During the previous year the Pechange stood at 35 142, while in gor it was trekoned at 25 id, so that if calculated in lorafcumenry the increase was about 14 per cent. The total imports, of which cotton goods formed considerably over half, were valued at 35,700 as against £713,900 last year, foreign goods representing £827,000, or an increase of £121,800. whilst native produce remained about stationary at £13,700. The port has now been open for upwards of four years, and it is satisfactory to
that a steady and uninterrupted progress has been maintained, the value of trade having nearly doubled in that period. A great feature of this increase has been the foreign imports, Mr. LITTLE citing as an instance of how rapidly the Chinese acquire a taste for things previously unknown the fact that Hongkong aurated waters at 20 cents a bottle are sold in the pay $1.75 compensation for damaging a private obtain a fine suite of retiring and reception given in his favour.

The Chairman said →Gentlemen, the report and accounts I will, with your permission, take as read. The profits for the half year were slightly under those of the corresponding period last year, the decrease being due not so much to diminution of business as to increased cost of wines and stores through the fall in exchange, but notwithstanding this the results of the working, will I think, give satisfaction and believing such to be the case I need make no further comment on the accounts. Some 8 months ago you approved of a proposal to build on the Reclamation and at the same time gave the Board authority to vary the scheme if thought fit, the one we submitted being somewhat modest involving an expenditure of about $50,000. Subsequent to the meeting at which this proposal was approved an offer was made to us for leasing a five storeyed per manent building casting some $400,000 and this offer we have accepted because the net resutts to the Hotel Company are an assured income equal to if not larger than would have been earned by the first scheme, whilst in place

INTERESTING SHIPPING CASE
The case came on before the Fuisne Judge, His Honour A. G. Wise, at the Supreme Court this morning, Mr. E. J. Grist appearing for the plaintiff and Mr. J. Hastings for the defendant
Captain. Pannier was the first witness called and he gave evidente to the effect that the 3rd engineer was dismissed on the order of the owners, and that according to French law when a Frenchnian is available, French shipowners must employ them, and can only accept the services of a foreigner when a countryman is not available,.
Mr. Hastings then put on the ship's articles,. which were in French and of which there was no translation.
