PRESENTATION TO DR. MARQUES.
The Stam Free Press of the 30th wit, says: Dr. Marques, whose arrival in Bangkok we announced recently, and to whose brilliant career and valuable services both in Hongkong and to the Portuguese Government at Macao, that gained such marks of esteem and merit, was the recipient yesterday afternoon of an address and presentation of silver plate from Macao-born residents in Bangkok in recogni tion of his kindness to his countrymen, We understand that the genial and kind hearted Doctor leaves Bangkok to-morrow, and all those who had the happiness of his acquaint ance will heartily wish him bon voyage, and a pleasant time.

In a recent report Mr. Hlenty Clews, the well-known New York banker, devotes most
of his space to an appreciation of the Japanese, as the financial situation gives him very little to write about. The following extract is parti. cularly interesting :-

That was the only way in which they would be able to make things pay. All firms in the East were handicapped in the extra price, which had to be put on material from home, a per centage of the charges in some instances amounting to 20 per cent of the value of the materials. Mr. Dixon then asked Mr. Mitchell to say a few words.
