Latest Reports From Canton.
INDICATIONS OF OFFICIAL SETTLEMENT AS PROMISED.
Strike pickets at Canton, and out-stations were all withdrawn yesterday as previously indicated by the Kwangtung Government. Latest reports from all sources point to the first step of settlement having been effected smoothly.
The lack of information, as “to. any definite official declaration of the enbling off of the" boycott led to
little pessimism this morning as to the eventual outcome of this moyement for settlement in Caston.

Private advice down from Euro- ropean quarters in Canton indi- cute that there is no sign of the Canton Government's order being ignored..
Pickets were not to be seen yesterday afternoon but as no boat for Hong Kong has left since noon yesterday it is not possible to say whether the strikers have definitely withdrawn.
From inquiry made at the fron-.. tier, the "China Mail" learns that the strike pickets posted at Sam chun, on the Chinese' side of the New Territory border, left for Canton by the last train yester
