As the defendant was gaining in strength. unable to give a satisfactory account as to how he came by the copper, witness took him to the station.

Mr. Stevens, former Vice-Chairman of the Shipping Board, when giving evidence before the Senate Commerce Committee, said that the value of the the board had received bids was thirty former German ships, for which

twice or three times the amount of the bids received-namely $65,000,000 to $79,000,000 and the bids received for four of the ships for transfer to foreign flags, were double the highest

He recognized there appeared to be much greater in Court confidence in present values, and

Mr. Stevens. added that there was rather more business was put through for the distant deliveries at present re no reason why the Shipping Board quired than has latterly been the case. should not operate the ships to prove This has however been checked or disprove the frequent claim that by the advance now demanded by the United States could not compete producers, the tone generally b ng with other countries on the seas. very strong and 6rm indeed. En- quiry is still very abundant and it does not yet appear that any outlets have even temporarily satisfied their needs. Goods that are obtainable for early delivery are much sought after and stock icts are readily dis posed of.

On the 10th inst, silver reached the new high record of 894d. but after a slight fall, owing to the higher New York exchange a sudden sharp reaction has taken place. The cause of this is none too clear at present but it appears to be largely owing to the fact that China buying, which has been the main support the market for the past six months, suddenly ceased, and instead of buying, China The REGISTER OF SHARES of the shewed some inclination to sell Company will be CLOSED frdr.

Sergt. Caygell pointed cut that it was not probable that the defendant, if he had bought his stock from time to time. would have accumulated nails all of the same size: and, said the sergeant, if the defendant had in fact intended to take the things nver to Hongkong to sell, it would have been easier for him to catch the Samshuipe ferry, instead of walking all the way to Yaumati

JAPANESE LOAN CREATES

SENSATION AMONG PEOPLE OF SHANTUNG

PROVINCE.

According to the reports of Peking agents of the native gently, there are certain conditions in connection with the conclusion of the. Yen 9,000,000 by Japan single-handed to the Chinese government. The report has caused a sensation in this city because the Shantung people strong- ly oppose direct negotiation be tween Japan and China about the settlement of the Kiaochow issue. It is alleged that "hidden negotia τίσεις

are going on in certain Siao. foreign quarters so as to pave the way for formal pcurparlours. It may be that the natives of this pro vince are too sensitive and smart in connection with the Shantung affair which leads them to scent "hidden negotiations" because the Japanese say that with the exception of security, that was no other condition on the recent loan which, they say, cannot and should not they say, can. rot and should not be mixed up with the Kiaochow muddle..

.The

Japanese owned vernacular

papers

severaly criticising the articles af J. Timmons about Shantung. The Tainan Jihipao challenges this American pressman to prove on the spot what he had said about the Japanese and their beloved country.

Sre

According to the Japanese papers, in the same way as former Germany. the present industrial and commercial prosperity and abundance of Japan and the Japanese are being viewed with an enviable eye by foreigners and secondly there is the burning racial question between the east and the west so that it is not surprising that there are so many Americans and others write critically about the "Land of the Rising Sun whose actions in China are always termed as aggre- ssive and self-seeking by these foreign sentimentalists.

Mr. Kobayashi, former Japanese financial representative in China, has contributed an article to the Japanese Daily "Tsingtao Jihpao" with re- ference to the wine and tobacco loan from the Pacific Development Com pany. According to the opinions of this Japanese financial expert, the Americans are going to reorganize the wine and tobacco bureau in such a way that the British-Ameri cau Tobacco Company can establish monopolies in this country in the future. The article is being repro- duced by the Chinese papers and is drawing considerable attention from the Chinese wine and tobacco In- terest North China Star.

Mr. S. Komor leaves today for Japan by the s.s. "Inasbruck."
