HolosoNG, NOVEMBER 9TH, 1907.

WE see in correspondence with the local Chamber of Commerce, which we hope to fiúd space for later, that the Chamber addressed the Colonial Secretary on the subject of the Nanking Viceroy's projected opium monopoly. All shops will have to buy their raw opium from the Viceroy's nominee. If the scheme succeeds, and is as profiable as it promises, other Viceroys will be sure to copy the example, and the Chamber lodges a protest against Bucb interference with an established foreign. trade. The Governor is asked to support the protest, on the ground that the project in illegal and contrary to treaty, Articles V and of the British Treaty of Nanking 1642 being quoted. The British Merchants in Blanghai combined and refused to supply the monopolist, who thereupon began to buy at Hongkong, where a boycott was less easy to arrange. The Chamber points out that while the new Bureau poses as an anti-opium movement it is really a monopoly with revenue as its sole object. The Houge kong merobants interested had written not only to the Chamber of Commerce, pointing these things out, but also to the British Consul at Shanghai, and to the Chairman of the China Association. at Shanghai, The Chamber of Commerce telegraphed to the British Minister at Peking add ing their protest to those already for warded.

Boon after Captain Elliot, the British Pleni potentiary, took possession of Hongkong and long before the British Government had either sanctioned the sot, or determined upon retaining possession of it, he issued Publi Notice advertising a land sale, to take place on the 12th June, 1841. The following is an extract therefrom. Notios in hereby given that a sale of the wannat rate of quii, vent of 100 lots of land having water frontage will take place &c." The sale took place on the 14th Jane, but only 34 lots sold, and even some of those were Babaequently thrown up. Of course the lots which did sell, were the pick of the. Central Marius lots.
