HAMBURG, 23rd Decoubor,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS THURSDAY, JANUARY 26TH, 1905,

Recent works have been most eventful in the ontton markets of the world, prices having in the 28th ult. dropped 1d per lb. for American descriptions, middling, which in January stood at 3d. and in September at the opening of the season was quotal 6.70., is now offering at 41d.

When last I reported on this article I ex- pressed an opinion that the growing crop in the United States would be a large one, but that owing to the short ones of the proviens four years the requirements of the world would be so enormous that a really low range of aries must not be expected. In this I have

One of the reasons of this unsatisfactory state or affairs would seem to be, besides the smallness of the samples ou which sales are made, the fact that they are frequently taken from uncom pressed waste which invariably looks botter, and is better, than that in the bales, particularly if John Chinaman has been allowed to have his way in the packing and baling of it; ho delights in sitarating the stuff with water and then squozzing it down in the press until it gets hard an stons and all the sceda and other foreign substances are crushed and inextricably mixed up with the fibre. Wasto tendered by the

sellor should be most carefully examined as to quality and condition, und rufused if not up to the mark, and the baling of lots accepted should be strictly watched. As I bave not noticed any cotton waste entered from your port, I will class with the request. Shanghai papers please copy."

This is one instance in which the work of arivanced mathe. maticians is used to facilitate the practical employment of mathematics by those who have only studied the elements, and if we ware to go and consider the higher branches of the subject we should find many other instances in which the formule derived from diflent process Bre made available for the daily use of the euginner,-tha,shipbuilder, the navigator and others in similar walks of life who make use of the results obtained by mathematicians Of tiles lighter without knowing it. branches as they are College, it would In speak, except to say that the fow of you boys who may be tempted by mathematical aptitude to go beyond your school course, vill find the subject more and more fascinating with onch advance in it. This fascination is nearly a defect in the study, which developing as it does the reasoning power to the highest extent is hell by som to be inimical to the cultivation of the imagination. This reminds me of a story which I am, tempted to tell, though it will probably bo mors interesting to the masters and other gentlemen here present than to the ladies and the scholars, A Cambridge under- graduate who was nu enthusiast for literature, with much diffientty persuaded a mathematical friend to read 'Paradiso Lost.' When the book was returned, he expected the friend to be a enthusiastic na himself. But the latter said he could find very little in the work. There was one neat thing. The dimensions of Satan were given, and the time he took to fall from Heaven to Holi. It was thus possible to calculate the distance between the Celestial and Internal regions by a simple substitution in the formula, S equals 12 Dafore I close my remarks I wish to emphasise the use of mathematics other than its immediate practical application. It is recognised to be the study which more than Buy other develops what I have elsewhere called the male element of the mind-the reasoning power I wish also to add a word of practical advice to the boys and a suggestion to the Head Master. A binader in a mathematical operation absolute. ly vitiating, as it must do, the result obtained by a correct process, is the worst of faults, and is generally avoidable by checking. A tuerogelection was extensive and it was easy to secure going over a calculation a second time is not always or oven generally the best way of chark- ing. Sometimes this can be done by reversing the process and generally by an operation of mental arithmelie. I suggest to the Head Martor that when he finds a boy habitually blandering in his calculations he should wake him show at the foot of each solution the method quality thut may be desired, on sample or other-informed three girls were being detained there.

The receipts of cotten in the States since the beginning of the season have exceeded those during the saws period in any previous year, and have con- sequently led to high estimates of the ultimate yield, some going as high as 13 million balos These highestimates have received confirmation from the Report of the Agricultural Bureau of Washington published on the 3rd inst., which puts the figurs at 12,162,000 B, and as the Bureau's estimate is as a rule somewhat below the mark, people are now looking tar 13 Mil or mere, hence the recent crash. Assuming the consumption of the world to be 11 million bales, who is to carry the surplus, they ask, and how much lower crust prices go, to induce spinners and capitalists to take charge of it? In my opinion these fears are exaggerated, for there is no reason why spinnere, who during the last four ammers were from scrcity of the article compelled to buy from hard to mouth should not this time lay in moderato supplies nor does it appear necessary that every new Benson should be entered upon with starvation stocks and these of doubtful quality! Again it may be permitted to ask how much of the prosent visible supply is still wailable, ie. angold.

La orplanation of the resolutions to be submitted to the meeting of the Chius Associa- tion on the 19th of January, 1905.

As a result of representations made by the Ministers

of Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Great Britain, and Italy, the Chinoso Government have undertaken to discuss the amendments to the trade-marke regulations which may be proposed by the Powers and not proceed to the registration of any trade-marks until a complote agreement has been mɛrival at with the Powers in regard to the provisions of the traile-matks.

Government propose to adopt.

As stated in the letter addressed to Ilis Majesty's Blinister by the Chamber of Com- merce, objection is taken to various points in the original regulations, to which the Diplomatic Body will no doubt see that effect is given any with all of whieli wo are presurashly in accord. It is important that without loss of time we should proceed to disenss the crux of the whole matter, namely, protection against infringement by Chinese subjects of marks registorad abroad and marks not registered abroad in which proprietary rights are claimed, which have been in publie nse in China, for certain classes of goals, for over two years prior to the let of January, 1905, the assumed date on which registration would have come into fores, had the regulations proved satisfactory.

The present cotton crop in the States looking promising, spinoors, with an adequate supply of the raw material in view, no longer hold back, but met the demand freely, and manufacturers followed their example. They are both now, as already stated, well sold for mouths and months to come, early deliveries are exceedingly diffoult to arrange, and prices of yarns and goods have so far been but little affected by the sharp decline in cotton, In order to stop the decline and to attempt to raise prices, planters and others in the States interested in maintaining them at a higher level, ate to meet on the 17th inst. for the purpose of forming a combination intended to facilitate the helding back of cotton in the interior and to prevent the markets being altogether swamped. Whether they will succeed in their object remains to be seen; much will depend upon the actual yield of the crop. As to next season, we are told that at 4d: for middling in Liverpool there will be a decided reduction in the acreage put under cotton in the spring.

The Army Ordnance men kicked off. Even loose play was witnessed for the first ten minutes. A fool was given against the Club on account of Hall charging Ingmire in the back.

Now China can not legislate for foreigners, and to get out of this difficulty it is suggested that the regulations be divided into classes, as was originally proposed by the Commissioners of Customs, appointed to draw up registration rules early last year. The division would be sewhat as follows-

On this having been done, the Chinese Government ought then to publish full particulars of all marks so filed, and announce that, while they will not entertain any applications for regis owners or of other individuals in respect of these marks, or of marks similar thereto, for the classes of goods for which they have pro- viously been used, they will extend to them, in the ca-o of infringement thereof by Chinese sabjects, the same protection they propose to grant to duly registered post-Treaty or Chinese marks.

The Chinese Government must also, prior to fixing a date for entertaining applications to register marks, determine à sufficient period to permit of a wide circalation of the list of recorded aarks, so that applicants to register may be fully posted beforehand as to what marks they can or cannot register, and thus minimise nil eh-nces of wearisomo processes to obtain injunctions.

As to disputes, which may arise between for- ein holders of reaczuled marks, the Chinese Government have no concern. These must in the future, as in the past, he fought out by for- eigners themselves, on the same lines as they fought thera out before the British Treaty came into being. Transfers of such marks will equally have to be matter of mutual arrangement be- tween fareigners.
