Commercia'.
Sound Position of Bangkok Trade,
Bangkok, Feb. 5.-Matera in Siem areabnormally quiet in most rospects and are particularly dull | in the capital just now writes Straits Times correspondent.) Fer one thing the King and court are abrent and, for another, the war is undoubtedly having its effect upon both social and commercial life. The King has been absent. aitheannusl manmuvres of Siam's Volunteersntherwise known na the Most Honourable Corps of Wild Tigers, m 1,200 of whom have just concluded ofonte. marches to the

of Bangkok. Thote who have returned certainly, do not so m say the worse for their patriotic endeavoure; and some of them profess to have quite enjoyed themselves. Bangick has just concluded its first race meeting of the sca on, which proved quite a sucocar, although the Germans had no posies running. As usual the King bad a number of animls going, but was not very successful, the royal Blables only getting three wins, five seconds and two thirds cut of twenty-four starts. Judging by the lotteries, totalizator and money put on with the bookmakers, Bang- koki nct very hard hit y the war. As a matter of fact trade is gradually picking up in almost overy line. The Custome ratürng for January show imports Teali 6,163,682 and exporte Ticala 8,392,510. "Compared with the figures for January, 1914, thoxa show a decrease of Ticats 537,000 in importa and Ticals 491,400 in exports, which cannot be con- sidered serious when all the cir- onmstances are taken into con- eideration. This season's rice crop is a thoroughly good cas and though it does not quite equal that of last year there will be fully s million tons available for export. Just now millors and shippers are as busy as they can well be with the now crop and it is interesting to note that there are several big British steamer at present loid- ing at the outer anchorage at Koh-ai-Chang. During January 62 steamers with an aggregate of 48,055 tons entered the port of| which 19, of 8,945 tons were British, the Norwegian■ number- ing 40, of 32,813 tons. Last year the Germans were far and away in the lead, with the Norwegians second and Britain a very poor third. British residente in Siam are doing what they can with regard to the various war funds. The ladies, nct content- ing themselves with their mwing and financial contributions, have started a soheme for the pre- simbul. sentation of a motor ance and this, it is gratifying to: note, is being wall supported. Amongst other things. Mr. Aler. B. Donaldson, formerly with Measre. Gann and Company, of Singapore, has given. £35 to the Daily Mail fund "for tobacco for: the troops. The French residenta here are also by no means behind hand in well doing and bave already sent away Tiosle 15,489 fer the alleviation of distress Of the caused by the war. anmerous Bangkok Frenchmen at the front news comes altog alowly, M. Beranger, who was shot in the chin and taken to hospital at Chartres, has recover- ed, M. Bonnafous, the French Consal here, was taken prisoner by the Germans at Bar-le-Duo early In Nov., and M. Laydeker, one of the legal advisers here, was wounded in the leg at Hautes- de-Mense, but was reported to have been progressing favourably.
