an interest in the firms in Hoihow and Pakhoi from whom the

opium was bought, they also appear to have had a share in

the junks which were specielly chartered to bring the opium

from the mouth of the Loongmo on River to Pakhoi or Hoihow.

It is therefore impossible to calculate what the profits of

the several partners were finally. The ultimate profits

were probably large as the risks were spread over so many persons and fims, a less in connection with one branch of

the business would be fully made up by the success of

another. Most of the opium dealt in was the "Bamboo" style

so called from the piece of bamboo used to form the bottom

of the pat of spium, this kind of Turvan opium always fetches

a kigher price here then the "piller" style so called trom it being in lmpe resembling a Chinese pillow; but early in the year large amounts of Persian opium were bought through

Heibow, and passed through the Colony for ultimate sale in

Swatow, the natives of that district having a special liking

for Persian in preference to Chinese opium. The supplies of Persian seem to have ceased quite mddenly just about the time of the record seizure by the Police on the island. It is probable that the disturbed state of the coastal regions of China bad driven this epim to the Colony for temporary safety and its seizure cleared up all the available supplies

of Persian on the coast.

Many of the friends of the firm appear to have been military officials, whose sid is indispensible to the spium trade at present in China, it only to afford protection. At the mouth of the river the opium was put into junks often chartered for the purpose and conveyed to Pakhoi or Hoihow. A Pakhoi it apparently came under official cognisance, as in one account of expenses a eum at the rate of 5 cents per tael is given as stamp duty, that stamp duty is collected en opium at Pakhoi is confirmed
