So sheep-like has the market become that a few official purchases on behalf of the Government are accepted as a perfectly safe lead for speculators to follow, and the consequence is that a fresh bull account seems fairly on the way to being established, This, on top of the already existent position

BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTA-
JION DEPARTMENT.
Mr. W. J. Tuteher, Acting Superintendent, Botanical and Afforestation Department, has issued his annual report, from which we cull the following items :—
BOTANIC GARDENS.
The revenue derived from plant sales and loans last year was $936.01 as compared with $958 18 for the previous year. Of this amount the sum of $688.13 was received for 1,596 plants sold, and $217.88 for 3,181 plants on loan,
Additions to the Hongkong Flora.-The following plants have not been recorded from Hongkong before, so far as I am aware -
Calanthe curculigoide", Wall-In March, 1901, I discovered a plant on Mount Parker,
KING'S PARK, KOWLOON,
ECONOMIC GARDEN.
Perhaps it is as well to place on record the fact that Mr. Li Pak is doing excellent experi mental work on his estate at Castle Peak, He informs me that his grounds amount to about 600 mow, (about 60 acres), and he has under cultivation sugar cane, mulberry trees, fruit trees, flowers and vegetables, Mr. Li Pak has adopted western methods in his cultural expe riments, and he deserves every success in his undertaking.
FORESTRY IN HONGKONG,
The total number of trees planted in Hong- kung was 6,402. A quantity of pine tree seed was sown broadcast which was estimated to produce 66,000 trees. Owing, however, to the exceptionally dry spring very little of the seed germinated, so that the actual number of trees produced is very far short of the estimate. Where necessary, sowings will be made again. this year.
Grass Fires-A very large number of fires occurred during the year and 22,607 trees were destroyed. The great destruc ion of trees was attributable, no doubt, to the very dry state of vegetation in general, prevailing during the early months of the year. Of the 47 fires recorded, including one near Cheung Sha Wan, New Territory, no less than 39 were reported in January, February, March and April, and these were the means of destroying 21,486 trees. The other to occurred in September, October and November and, as vegetation was nuch less dry at that time than in the early months of the year, only 1,211 trees were killed. The Police Department rendered great assistance in extinguishing these fires and the several officers concerned deserve great thanks for their timely help, without which many more trees would have been destroyed.
DIRECTORS.
A full board of directors has to be elected.
AUDIT.
The accounts have been audited by Mr. D. M. Fleming, who offers himself for re-election,

Certainly the Budget bulks ahead, with vague uncertainty attendant upon what it may reveal; but taking all things into account, a great deal of difficulty lies in the path of him who would pierce the imine- diate future of Gaschens, and it is by no means surprising in fact, it is quite natural-that the course of Consols should continue for a while as inconstant as that of any speculative counter 3.106 95 to be found in the Stock Exchange.

The seeds germinated successfully, and the young trees were about i 6 inches high when planted out, some in pre- pared trenches and others in pis, but they ave made very little progress since, and do not give much promise of success.
