FOOD SUPPLIES TO HONGKONG.
IMPORTATION MENACED BY CANTON TAXES.
A situation which threatens the Interruption of the supply from 26 Canton to Hongkong of vegetables, 10 fish, fruits and poultry, following the Canton merchants' resentment to of the Southern Government's Ex- 13 port tax on these commodities, bas 10 developed during the last two days, 10 and is causing anxiety among local 10 deniers. The concern of the local 10 merchants has been increased by the fact that the Canton-Hongkong teamers which arrived on Tues- day and steamers from Chungsban un Kongmoon during the past two days brought no. food cargoes. Antleipating that serious com. 5plications might occur if the Can- Bton Guvernment enforced the new tax on September 1, the Hongkong Fish Mongers' Association
