TROUBLE.
Shinghel, Aug. 20. Attempts by strikers in Japan- ere mills to create trouble this afternoon were averted by the police. An intended march on the Japanese Consulate did not materialize.
The agitators had planned a demonstration both in Nanking and Whangpoo roads. The Japanese Consulate is situated in the latter street. An attempt to execute the plan was begun in the Western district, but was nipped in the bud by the police..

The Morning Post reportor was informed that an increase of ond cent on a small packet of Capstan, for example, should cover the in- crease. Apparently there is no excuse for a charge of 20 cents in some shops to cover the extra. charge by the manufacturers. The probable explanation is that where 20 cents is the ruling price the shopkeepers do not deal in amounts of less than five cents.

A GRAVE VIEW.
London, Aug. 20. The executive of the Miners' Federation met in London. A grave view was taken of the situa- tion.
