AN ENGLISH BABY-BROKER AT

SINGAPORE.

WOMAN ARRÉSTAD, An articlo in the Straits Turcs of the 15th inst says:

Baby-broking is an industry not altogether unknown in China, but the vocation is one that seems peculiarly repulsive to kuropeans. Eno weeks ago we published an advertisement sent to na by a woman who wished to get en European baby adopted. Before inserting the advertisement, we made, suck engairies us Jundified our believing it to have been sent to us in all good faith. Since then the same woman has sent us advertisements of two other babies for sale, that is to say, the latest advertisement sent to us states that awenithy Chinese gentleman" is wanted to adopt a Chinese child. The first child was Europesp. The woman herself is an Eu opsan-allegedly on Englishwomen. It is not at all pleasant for other English people to have a woman of their own nationality hawking babies-bo they plak, blue, black or yellow-to Chinere gentlemen in a British Colony. Still less agreeable is is to have her trafficking lu semi-adult girls and and sending them to Chinamen for unmentionable

purposes.le

Mr. E. J. Grist, of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist, solicitors, appeared for the plaintiff. There was no appearance on behalf of the defendants.

His Lordahip-I do sot think this is the first

saginst the Man Li Yeon.

Mr. Grist-No, wy Lord. I think they have

bolted.

The plaintiffs rent-collector, examined, de posed that the defendunts were tenants of Lue Yuan Street East. They gave notice they were going to leave the premises and did leave, but left the place full of goods.

At this stage Mr. John Hays of Mesra Johnson, Stokes & Master, Bolinitore, who had appeared for the plaintiff last Friday, came into Court and, addressing his Lordship, said that he had had no further instructions in the matler but was told in the office that the case had been settled.

His Lordship Of coures I do not know any thing of that.

Ms. Grist-Yes; the dare has been settled but the money kus not been paid.

The article goes on to relate the following fucts:

The radically unfortunate position of silver, saya the Financer, ia due to the fact that the production persists in growing, and, the metal being over-plentiful, it generally needs only slight recovery in prices to bring idio mines into work again. Further, the proportion of silver turned out as a by-product of lead and other metals is constantly growing, and its production is encouraged because on any basis of marker prices it gives a profit to the mine, The world's production last year is estimated at 178,8€6,000 ounces, as compared with a previous record 1901 172,838,000 ounces) for 1800, and 167,294,0.00•¿nnees for 1889. In twelve years the yield has gone up by 41,000,000 ounces, and with nation after naton taking to the full or the modified gold standard, it is certain that the requirements have not incressed at anything like this rate, allowing for an increased consumption in the arts and commerce--not an important factor, anywayCAME C.
