The unregenerate dature of mid-dearly loves a Kamble and as China is mostly peopled by those whom, Bishop Heber so comprehen. sively described as "the heathen in his blindness" it is evident that lottery tickets might be adroitly used for the purpose of sti, muling business. When East meets West, under these circumstances, the West is likely to get much the worst of it. Although Kipling's
soldier maintained that "there ain't no ten commandments' east of Suer, yet the Western- ers cannot reply effectively and openly to the lottery ticket method, however dearly some of them might like to do so.." It is hardly likely that a mere protest would much effect in hinder. ing circulation of the Japanese lottery ticket as. a bid for business, but its effectiveness would soon be greatly discounted by the promptitude with which the folk in China would enter into competition. The japanese, cannot teach the Chinese anything about lottery tickets.

THE POSITION OF SILVER,
Discussing the Silver Question the British Traile Journal remarks that scarcely a day passen without some variation in the market price of bar silver, and not infrequently the fluctuations are violent. This state of things may suit the big banks and exchange dealers who are able to some extent to anticipate the movements, if, indeed they are not frequently responsible for them, but it is demoralizing to regular trade, rendered difficult enough as it is by the changing conditions prevalent in the Far East.
