Bureau had discovered
that ten or more of the raw opium sh
had been obeying the regulations, and were willing to carry out
these precautionary measures, but twoshops, the Chuan Fu ch'eng
and the Ch'un Fu Hsing, relying on theirbomparatively large
capital had attempted to monopolise the trade. Their arrest by
the Police Officials was supported by conclusive txxxnxxxxitak
proof, and the sentence imposed on them to stop business, which
was reported to and approved by the Acting Viceroy Hu, was A

of recalcitrant raw opium shops, and were in no way the concern

The raw opium shops numbered over twenty and all were
carrying on their business as usual. No dislocation was being
caused to the trade of either Chinese or foreign opium merchants.

their sympathetic assistance. It was therefore their duty to
carry out their instructions with the utmost energy, for the
whole principle of controlling opium would be defeated, were
individuals to be allowed to buy opium without a licence or
opium dealers to sell to such persona. It would also be imposs-
ible to second in a worthy manner the friendly assistance of
foreign kindly disposed powers.
With regard to the increase in price of prepared opium
