In a very few days we received upwards of $500 in numerous small suns, and, having thus secured an encouraging start, we were fortunate in enlisting the operation of a small Committee which has been responsible for the collection of subscriptions and the administration of the Fund from that time until now.

It is perfectly safe to say that there would. have been no difficulty in obtaining a much larger amount if that had been TALCUM ecessary, but at one time the Committee, having in hand a sum sufficient to cover several months' expenditure, decided not to accept any more money in view of the demands made upon the generosity of the public for other equally worthy objects. In point of fact the Fund has closed with an unexponded balance of $296.81. Ont of this surplus 800 has been voted to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Homo, and the re- mainder, $246.81, has been given as a special donation to the Garrison Recr tion Club, which is sorely in need of financial assistance owing to the special conditions brought about by the war.

PROSPERITY IN MANCHURIA.

The harvest throughout the whole of that we have had for a dozen years (Bay Manchuria is magnificent, the boat by far the local correspondent of the Daily News) Every kind of crop is much above the average and everywhere the people are well satisfied. There has been a rapid rise in rents in Harbin and many large firms from China Proper have. opened suencies there. This is thought to be with a view to getting a share in the big export trade in beans, bean oil and cereals which is expected to take place to Russia.
