[FROM OUR CHINESE CORRESPONDENT]

The Government in Canton is giving its Minister of Finance two months to raise $3,000,000 for the proposed Northern Ex pedition. From this it may be taken for granted that the much-talked-ol re-inforce

ments for the "Christian General," Feng Yu Hsiang, in the North. may not be available for sometime-il, indeed, the expedition ever starts.

COSTLY KEROSINE.

The suspension of the Sunning railway services in the Szcyap Districts of Kwang- tung caused by anti-imperialist" boy- cott pickets preventing importation of coal, is responsible for a shortage of kerosine oil.

Before the Kuomintang made kerosing oil a Government monopoly the price of "kerosice in these districts never exceeded 25 a case, but the Kuo- mintang official price is 812.50 a case.
