The dousual level, at this period of the year of the Russian exchange attract attention. It is somewhat remarkable that a time when ex- ports from Russia are at their lowest the ex change should be at practically the Russian import point.
Silver. The tone of silver is becoming mora confident. Any anxiety as to the attitude which would be adopted at the end of the New Year fentīvities in China.was dispelled by the firm. ness of rates which reached here be the 15th instant, and the market which had been await ing "lead," ross sharply to 248 for both posi- tions. Al this figure the price rather overshot the mark, but the next day revealed the as- derlying strength of the market; for the cash price merely dated 1'16d and the forward rate was maintained.

There are no signs as yat of any, revival in the import trade with China, and, though stural hopes are felt that this cannot be muck longer delayed, exchange meanwhile continues to be one-sided.

THE WORRIED WOMEN. They say men taust work and women must weep; but alas, in this too busy world women often have to work and weep at the same time. Their holidays are too few and their work heavy and monotonous. It makes them nervous and irritable. The depressed and worried woman loses her appetite and grows this and feeble. Once in a while she has spells of palpitation and has lie up for aday or two, if some disease like influents of malarial fever happens to prevail she is almost certain to have an attack of it, and that often paves the way for chronic troubles of the threat, lungs and other organsjund there is up saying what the end may be.

Mr. Bailey went to Datch Bom to report on the state of a German.com pany, which is practically the only robber property in the country, at present. This comr pany has 5000 acres of one to throu-and- a-half year old, rubber, which, is getting on well now, though at one time a large area was overgrown with lalang, and cost £6,000 to put in order.

TOQ LATE NOW, FOR DUTCH BORNEO to become a serious rival to Malaya -and Ceylon. Borneo, however, will grow splendid rubber. On the German estate it is planted in cratolaris and another leguminous plunt, which, in Mr. Bailey's opinion, is a mistake. Mr. Bailey la, in fact, an out and out advocate of clean weeding which, he says is the only cheap weeding he knows.
"I will not baliava thera in anything in what Mr. Carruthers and the other exparis way as to relentios of (moisture, etc., unless they can shows three-year-old rubber not clean weeded equal to three-year-old rubber which has been kept clean. It is the other way about, three-year-old clean weeded rubber locking equal to five-year-old rubber that has not been so treated. When you speak about the soil being dried up you must remember that in a few years it is in, dense shade.
Mr. Bailey spent the rest of the time in the Malay States, where he found the

and in view of prenent prices, it was the most difficult thing in the world to value an estate with rubber in bearing. He went over an estate the other day, where the estimate for next year was les lhs. of subber per tree. This was ten year old rubber planted rather widely, say about 75 trees per acre, and the estimate was considered quite a moderate one.

"How could I value that?” Mr. Bailey ask- Supposing I took the price of rubber at half what it is to-day of even less, the value would simply frighten people..
