Opinion from Australia.
ý
The report of Mr Suttor, Commercial Agent in the East, in regard to the flour
frauds, is regarded by the Sydney Daily
Telegraph as dooidedly serious, as sovera prominent Sydney millers interviewed by the journal were careful to emphasise.
One firm, Mosers. Brunton, of the Australian Flour Mills, felt somewhat sceptical as to whether the frauds could be stamped out. There were, they pointed put, a dozen namnble instances of goods being put on our own markets which wore not made anywhere near the ostensible country of their manufacture, and it seemed likely that there would always be some such, In regard to the flour, there was such a multiplicity of brands. One arm here might send out to the East quito a dozen different brands, just to suit the traders at the other end. Many merchants liked their
1376 particular and special "chop," as the trade mark was colled, and as the Australian marker's name was not always on the bag
ERAL MANAGERS of the Company in the COTTAM &e CO., LD. there would be some dificulty in keeping
place of Messrs BENJAMIN, KELLY & POTTS, and that Article 50 of the Com. pany's Articles of Association be altered by substituting the words E. S. KADOOBIE & Co., for the words 'BENJAMIN, KELLY & THE POTTS.'

track of the bogus flour in his confusion of brands.
Mr J. W. Gillespie, of the Anchor Flour Mills, récently made a tour through the East, and his remarks were especially interesting. Ho did not think that the Chinese were at the bottom of the frauds. The whole thing, in his mind, was the
outcome of Yankee cuteness. In conse quence of the Chinese boycott of American goods, flour from the United States became a decided drug in the market. The stuff on hand had to be got off somehow, it being by no means an American rule to let stocks. rot on their hands. His firm some weeks. ago had received a private intimation that tiqusands of flour-bags made in the Australian style were being sent: from America. to China. That showed where the fault lay. He did not care, to believo that the Chinese were responsible for the frauds in any case. His experience of -800 Chinese business methods seemed to war-

It was while watching the Cambridge University team make their splendid stand against the famous "All Blacks," that ho began to wonder if anyone would take an interest in, or even believe, the fact that football was played by the Chinese several centuries before Julius Casar landed in Britain. Yet he has only to consult the faithful Ssu-ma Chien, who died B.c. 80, to gather some particulars. The ball, as originally used by the Chinese, was a round bag made of leather, or, as a poot says, eupplied by Dr Williams' Pink Pills gave "Eight pointed strips of leather made them both renewed health and dispelled into a ball," and was stuffed with hair; the terrible after-effects of influenza.

FROM HANKOW TO PEKING
BY RAILWAY.
The first trial trip of the Train de Lux over the entire distance from Peking to Hankow was covered in "thirty-six hours and exactly up to the time table schedule. The train arrived at Hankow on April 11, and the regular weekly service was to com
mence no April 16.
From a passenger who arrived by the rain, which takes three days on the journey, we are pleased to give and account of his pleasant experience of the trip. From Reging to the north bank of the Yellow River, the country was most interesting and as all vegetation was bursting out into leaf and aided by mild spring weather, the whole surroundings wore most enjoyable. The much talked of stability or instability ~ of the Yellow River railway bridge was the matter of his special attention. We were exceedingly anxious to learn his view on this subject and listened to his description of the much talked of undertaking with no small degree of interest. Although not an engineer by profession, our friend bas a arge experiene in constraction works in Railways in the United States, and gave us his opinion of what he saw in "a most candid and straightforward manner, far as he could see of the upper structure of the bridge he is of opinion that no money has been spared to make it most
