The flour market of Hongkong for the current half of 1916 has many uncertain elementa, and at present it is somewhat doubtful as to exactly what American flour manufacturers and exporters may expect, The unfavourablo turn of the trad with respect to American four noted in the opening months of the year as a result of high prices in the United Stuter and exceedingly high trans-

JAPANESE APPLICATION. Mr. P. W. Goldring appeared on behalf of a Japanese applicant for an adjunct licence for premises at Wanchai. Goldring explained that the premises would be used only by Japanese and Orientals. His client had been instigated to make the application by captains and engineers of Japanese coal boats, which generally anchored off Wanchai. These men felt the need for same place or other where they could obtain food and refresh- ment. Also there were nearly 1,000 Japanese residents in Wanchai,

The board decided to grant the applicant a restaurant keeper's adjunct Licence, for the sale of beer and Japanese wines only, such sales to take place between 12.30 pm, and 2.30 p.m., and 7 pm, and 10 p.m.
