PROJECTED PAPER HILL IN
SEOUL
A plan aiming at the establish- ment of a paper mill in Seoul is being footed by Mr. N. Uezumi and nine other Japanese capita- lists. The promoters have already fled an application with the su- thorities for permission to do so, and hope to bring it into operation immediately after the scheme is officially recognised.

GROUND-NUTS. Speculators are busy groundnuts, says a writer to the Japan Chronicle. The supply in Japan comes chiefly from the province of Shantung, China, which is famous as one of the greatest producing centres in tho East, the annual harvest on an average standing at 5,000,000 piculs. It is to be noted, how- ever, that what with the serere drought and the havoc wrought by noxious insects, the crop for
to
the current year is expected to decrease to about 3,000,000 piculs. If this unfavourable report proves be correct, it will certainly deal a severe blow to the general patronisers of this natural product. It may be men- tioned that the Japanese have a great liking for groundnuts and everywhere that people con- gregate together the sale of roast peanuts proceeds briskly. Their consumption seems to be a gre- garious habit, increasing with the boom in business and plea-
sure. The wholesale merchants
