THE PRINCE OF WALES.
Rotorua (NZ), April 99. The main Maari celebration in honour of the Prince of Wales, given in brilliant weather, consisted of Keres war dances and other gentler gyrations, wherein a thou- sand Maori warriors were clad in embroidered loin cloths and bare feather taffed spears. Numbers of Maori maldens, garted brilliant native costume, participated. The Chief's robe of soft kiwi fentuars was presented to the Prince of Wales, besides an address which eloquently referred to Maori sacrifices in the war and concluded "Your brief sojourn here will soften the sorrows of those whose dear ones followed the setting sun. So farewell! The Maari people will be true till death!" The Prince on replying was tremendously applauded. He promised to follow the example of the great Queen whose heart was with the Maoria from the day they swore allegiance.
The strike situation is unchanged. The whole rail- way running staff is now out. Limitation of food purchases has been ordered to prevent the supplies of the six thousand visiting Maoria and two thousand other visitors running out.

FRENCH EXCHANGE.
London, April 29.
In order to enforce national economy and improve exchange the French Government bas prohibited the in- portation of many luxuries, mostly finished goods, Inclad- lag diamonds, woven materials, flax,' hemp, ramla and other vegetable matters, textiles in cotton, ‚wool, goat's hair and silk, British and French traders are in con- sternation at the wholesale character of the list and the opinion is that British traders in France will be hard hit. Many will be forced to close down as soon as their present stocks exhausted unless the importation of many prohibited items is allowed by licence. One of the most important points relates to existing contracts, whereunder millions sterling worth of goods are being manufactured in Britain for France. It appears that enly goods already enroute will be allowed to enter France.
FRANCO-GERMAN ECONOMISTS.

Millerand stated he had, accepted the offer of the President of the German delegation to arrange a meeting of Franco-German economists with a . view to a general exchange of views in order to elucidato all questions as regards Fränco-German transactions.

MAY DAY STRIKE.
Paris, April 20.
The Labour organisations have decided to the strike on 1st May general. For twenty-four husen it is limited so that public services like water and lig only will be available. The miners' strike how averted as the demand of the State quarry wories to receive the same pensions as the miners has been conceded.
The Railway Confederation has ordered the railway strike to begin on 1st May, work resuming only upon the order of the Confederation. Furthermore the General Confederation of Labour has announced its general sup- port of the railway atrike. It points out that the strike does not relate to increases of pay but aims at securië the Unions right to organise and the nationalization uf railway transport, the reduction of the cost of living and avoidance of famine threatening the country. The Federation insists upon the Government's responsibilities hereanent and declares its readiness to make every effort to ensure the success of the railwaymans' strike. Cos- sequently it will decide the manner in which the general labour forces shall co-operate. The Federation will assure the feeding of the country and appeals to all for absolute observance of discipline and solidarity.
DISORDERLY HOUSES.
London, April 29.
The Lower House of the Anglican Convocatión has passed a resolution denouncing official toleration of dis- orderly houses urging that such places be put out of bounds wherever British troops are stationed. The mover, the Dean of Lincoln, asserted that official promises patting such hocses cut of bounds had not been kept. Some had been started recently in India, Gibraltar, Bur- mah, Straits, Malay States and Hongkong. He paid a tribute to General Plumer for his eñorts towards ending the scandal of traffic in women in India.
THE SILVER MARKET.
London, April 30,
Messrs. Montagu's report of April 29 says the fall in. price is due to the sadden cessation of Indian inquiry, apparently owing to the exchange position in China. The United States is said to be overstocked with Eastern. commodities and unsatisfactory conditions in Japan ara considered to be against purchases from China. As far ss can be seen India is the only possible absorber of silver and Europe will continue to have more sellers this buyers. Possibly the United States quotation will fail to dollar an ounce whereupon the United States Mine must purchase silver to replace the 300,000,908 vandná sold to the East. This will substantially support the market.
