The heavy stocks carried over plainly show that supply has outstripped demand for the time being, although the high prices now ruling in the States are likely to adjust this excess before many months are over. For the first six months of the year, nided somewhat in the latter part of that time by the cessation of hostilities between Russia. and Japao, no fault could be found with the trade, clearances being well over the average for the same period; but, nevertheless, stacks were accumulating.

Imports.-The gross value of arrivals aggregated, 159 million tales, against 196.9 millions in 1904-an, increase of 31 per cent.; and the netvalue of Foreign Imports-amount ed to 42 million taels as against 45 millions- an increase of more than 10 per cent over the figures of the previous year. From the mere comparison of these tota's, one would be inclined to jump in the conclu sion that the power of absorption of the Shanghai market bas vastly increased, and that this large advance in the values of the net Imports represents a corresponding increase in the local consumption. This, however, is far from being the case, and the increase is accounted for by large stocks, especially in Cotton Goods, which had to be carried over when the year closed. The Piece Goods trade of Shanghai during the period under review has been subject to a series of ups and downs, The capacity of traders has been severely tried in coping with the various difficulnes that have presented themselves, and the success with which these obstacles have been surmounted affords strong evidence of fertility of resource. With remarkable prescience, which was justi- fred in the event, some of the leading deilers conceived the idea comparatively early in 1904 that the time had come to order supplies of The Iron Duke, a smaller ship; of 6,010 Cotton Goods in the Manchester market for tana, hnd an adventurous history.

THE PEGOLIAR PEOPLE.
HOW FAR HIGOTRY CAN GO.
The length to which bigotry can go with ertain sects is aptly illustrated in a case heard the other day. A coroner's jury at Lambeth found that the death of Dorothy, Cook, a child
of seven, was due to the want of medical atten tion. The parents belong to the sect known as the Peculiar People, and the jury added that they regarded the father as responsible, and returned a verdict of manslaughter against him. The father, who is a horsekeeper, was accord. ingly committed by the coroner, Mr. Trout. beck, for trial,
In his evidence the father stated that he had belonged to the sect of the Peculiar People for
twenty years,
Perhaps, said the coroner, you will tell me what your religious belief is in regard to the treatment of illness?-Our belief in regard to the treatment of illness is according to this bonk (holding up a Testament),
What do you think the doctrine of the New Testament is in regard to illness?-Our belief in regard to that is that if anyone is afflicted we should call in the elder. There must be laying on of hands, anointing with oil, and the Day of them to save the sick, and the Lord
raise up if it is His will. What is your view in regard to calling in doctors in cass of illness?—Our faith is in the Lótd.

Perhaps you will answer the question. Da you or do you not call in doctors-We da nal. Do you do anything at all in the way of treatment of sick persons?-We give them every nourishment possible.
Dr. Freyberger expressed the opinion that with medical care and attention the child's lifa would have been saved,
