The manufacture of LEMCO is controlled by the Liebig Company throughout-from, the rearing of their own cattle to the potting of the extract. This ensures that perfection and evenness of quality which are found in LEMCO alone.
The secret of LEMCO' efficiency-high concentration- explains its great economy. The careful housewife will find that LEMCO, besides improving her cooking, reduces her expenses.

The hills between Sadiya and Rima, he says, are nowhere more than 5,000 feet high, and the engineer. ing difficulties, he thinks, are inconsider- able. Once communication with Rims was opened up, goods would begin to find their way through, but a further 100 miles of road-making would ultimately be desirable to connect with Batang, on the main route 577 between Pekin and Lhasa, which runs through an open soonwy within 200 miles of Assam.

THE YARN MARKET.
Messrs Cawasjee Pallanjeo and Co. write in their fortnightly report dated 25th March :-
There is no change of any importance to be noticed in our Yarn Market; it ruled very firm during the whole of the fortnight under review. The demand has chiefly run on Nos. 10s. and 12s. and aro still in request at current prices or at an advanco
demand
of from one to two dollars por bale, The upcountry
has been greatly restricted to those threads, and it is expected that in the course of a few days a good lot will be shipped to those places. Nos. 16s, and 20s. move slowly, and a limited business is reported in selected threads only at last Mail'e prices. The clearance in three counts have been too slow of late. Nos a, and 88. show no improvenient, both as regarde com sumption and prices. Sales during the past fortnight compriso about 50 bales of No. 6, 50 bales of No. 8, 2,007 bales of No. 10. 875 bales of No. 12. j 250 bales of No. 16%, and 775 bales of No. 20. in all about 4600
bales.
During the past couple of days a heavy drop in the rate of Exchange made importers firmer, and no business is reported, as they ask for higher rates. Arrivals during the fortnight per steamers Simla, Kumsung, Franz Ferdinand and Suisany of about 7,800 hales. Shipments to Shanghai and the Northern Ports amount to about 3,500 lales. The unsold stock is estimated at about 30,000 bales,

THE FREIGHT MARKET.
In their Freight Circular, dated 28th March, Messrs Lamke and Rogge write :-- The volume of business transacted during the period under review has been some. what smaller, principally in consequence of satified demand- at least for the time being for Steamers on monthly terms for Japanese necount, but rates of freight for tripwise business are, on the whole, well maintained and a retrograde movement need hardly be fenrad
There has been a fairly good demand from Saigon to this port in spite of the still rather weak view market Jucally chartering has been done to a fair extent at rates rang. ing from 21 cents to 25 cents per Picul, bur the inquiry has oner more been restricted i
to boats of handy size, only in one instance
a somewhat larger carrier having chipped
in at the reduced rate of 19 cents per picul. Shippers at Saigon remain very reluctant as regards steamers of large size, especially if without 'tween decks, they being afraid of damage by sweating.
For Philipps, ports, only a very moderate business has come to pass at somewhat easier rates, viz. 42 cents per picul and the demand has also been limited to small carriers. The grain market in the Philip- pines is amid to be rather stagnant with gradually receding prices and, unless there is an early change for the better a further slight decline in freights is not unlikely.
Nothing else requiring special mention has transpired in the southern market.
>
Anent Newchwang business, further chartering has been done at the last rate of 45 cents for Canton, four boats having been fixed on those terms, No advices seem to hand yet whether the ice has broken and whether any difficulty has been experienced in shipping produce, but definito nowa should now reach here at an early date.
No fresh coal charters have been effected locally from Japan ports, but a limited amount of chartering has been done in the North at slightly lower rates than horeto- fore, a weaker local coal market having been prohibitive to an advance in freights. Closing quotation is hardly better than $3 per ton, Moji to this. For Singapore, $3.20 per ton has been paid, but another charter is reported done in London at $3.50 per ton.
On monthly torms, business has been restricted to the charters of two small carriors; and as already indicated, there is less demand at the moment,

4. As long ago as 1888, the necessity for reservation of a European district was recognised, and provision was made by Ordinances Nos. 16 and 26 of that year for future prohibition of Chinese tenements' and the prevention of over-crowding in houses already erected and to be erected in cartain districts of the City of Victoria, but Mr H. E. Pollock, K.C. (instructed by these Ordinances have not prevented the Mr H. J. Gedge, of Messrs Johnson.

The special resolutions were that clause 3 of the Memorandum of Association be al- tered by substituting the following subsec- tion:-(a) to manufacture, sell and supply any kind of illuminant in the foreign Con- cessions and settlements at Tientsin, Tien- tsin Native City, Peking, Tongku, Taku, Tongshan, Peitai, Chingwantao, Shan- baikwan and any other place between or in the neighbourhood of the said places or elsewhere in North China, and to carry on the business of a gas or oil or electric light works in all their branches, and to manufac- ture or generate gas or electricity or any other luminant.

5. Should this process of absorption by Chinese extend to the Peak District, and it is not more unlikely than the absorption of the European District of Victoria must have seemed to the framers of Ordinance No. 10 of 1888, very serious results to the health of Europeans and their familice would follow. There being no other place for them to go to, they would then be dri-
ven to reside below, where the conditions are highly prejudicial to their health. The Hill District is undeniably the healthiest part of the Colony for all those to whom life in the tropics presents the disadvantage of an unnatural environment; in fact, it is the only accessible part of the Colony which is fitted to be a healthy residential quarter for people accustomed to a temperate

G. DE CHAMPEAUX,
Agent. Hongkong, March 28, 1904,
The Attorney-General introduced a Bill, entitled an Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 8 of 1882 entitled The Banishment and Conditional Pardons Ordinance 1882, which was read for the first time. The objects and reasons attached to the Bill were as follow:-
This Bill is to empower the Governor in Council, in the interests of order and good government, to remove from the Colony persons who after they have acquired by Taturalization the status of British subjects become a source of danger to the peace, order and good government of the Colony. The Bill provides that in case of the banishment of any naturalized person his status as a British subject shall ipso facto be suspended or cancelled as the case may be. Power is reserved to His Majesty to disallow any suspension or cancellation of naturalization. Somewhat similar legisla- tion has been adopted in the Straits Settle ments. The object of the Bill is the prevention of crime in the New Territorion. There are in that portion of the Colony
bad characters who go about in aran ed gangs robbing the peaceable inhabitants. which inhabitants of the New Territory have been convicted of armed robberies on junks and boats and of robberies with violence in the night time on land and afloat with and without arına. It is desir able that power shall be taken to banish, if necessary, such persons after they have undergone imprisonment. There are also cases in which persons guilty of the serious crimes mentioned, though well known, es- cape punishment on account of the difficul- ty, for fear of reprisals, in getting witnesses to come forward against them in the Law Courts.
As the law standa such persons though a constant menace to peace and good order cannot be banished if naturaliz or elements for the purpose of producing average nearly treble that which was paid force, Vernon in particular gotting very INDIA, ADEN, EGIPT, MEDITER. ed subjects by operation of the Lease of

Your petitionors submit that in order in view it is necessary directly to prohibit Chinese, other than servants, from occupy. ing houses built in the hill district, and further that, in imposing this limitation of residence, no hardship would be inflicted on the Chinese, for hitherto they have shewn no desire to occupy houses in that district, and, as they are living here in their native climate, they do not suffer from the oppressive heat of the lower levels during the summer months as Europeans do.
