Looking at their glittering win- lowe and splendid wures, most people think that the local Indian stores are among the Colony's few thriving concerns,

Yet the local Indian merchants were also badly hit by the strike and the position which it created. However a gradual improvement is now taking place.

The silk stores have suffered heavy losses owing to the Canton market-the source of their sup- plies-being closed, and the coast ports discontinuing purchases of Indian goods.
