She was employ- cd on the Canton-Laichow traffe carrying passengers and general freight. On her fateful voyage on Saturday last, she had a cargo on buard of some 350 pigs and about 250 pack -ges altogether on the shade deck, cargo which, it is thought, should have been stored in the tower deck.

that membership in this Society must neces- sarily entail the possible annoyance of attend. ance at the Police Court for the purpose of giving evidence against persons accused of cruelty. We are asked to state that the primary object of the Society is not prosecution, bat- rather the suppression of cruchy to all dumb animals by the educating of the ignorant by example and precept, and in this way, the ladies of the Colony can very greatly assist the Society both by teaching their children to be kind to animals, and in seeing that their servants do not abuse them. The hope of the promoters of the Society is that, under ordinary conditions, prosecution need only be resorted 10 in gross and flagrant cases. Every individual is able to give the Society a helping hand and it is greatly to be hoped that those who have hesitated to enrol themselves as members from a reluctance to l'olice Court appearance will now do so. We would further say that it will, in most cases, be sufficient to inform the | O. R. Chunyut -

TO-DAY'S INTELLIGENCE.
Some little relief from the tightness in the money market has been experienced with the
beginning of the week, partially caused, no doubt, by a cessation in the constant drain of ready cash from the Colony to the Straits Settlements in anticipation of the Introduction of the new currency there. In sympathy with a drop in exchange HONGKONG BANKS have advanced to $631.50. The report pub.

On the strength of the news and the prospective profits which the Company will reap, shares took a sport to $210 to-day. At this tate business was done. Two other stocks that have been neglected and. now again claim favour are CHINA SUGARS and INDO-CHINAS. At advanced prices of
$96 and $84, respectively, holders do not care to respond to buyers' offers, and there are many.
