The Chinese Chamber of Commerce recently took up with the authorities the complaints made by the Vegetablo and Fruit Guild of Hongkong regarding the. system of searching by Police. The situa tion in this respect has much improved lately and the Vegetable and Fruit Guild wrote to the Chamber a letter of appre-Hotels ciation for the services rendered on its behalf...

Similar complaints, however, have now been lodged by the Poultry Association from Mongkong and the Police Head- quarters who are investigating the at- ter, have asked for evidence so that those

police who commit any offences against the regulations may be prosecuted accord ing to law.

The Chinese undertakers of Hongkong, who recently had dispute with their cm- ployers, and threatened to strike, have again complained to the Chamber of the treatment accorded them by their em- ployers. The officers of the Chamber -rome-weeks-ago-acted-as-mediators-and- effected a settlement which gave the undertakers an increase in wages, but according to the undertakers, the em ployers have failed to carry out the understanding.

TRADE FIGHTING THE STRIKES.

FIGURES FOR JUNE BETTER THAN. FOR MAY.

Britain's overseas trade for June shows an amazingly good resistance to the blighting effects of the great coal strike. The figures are all lower than in June last year, but this is largely due to the fall of 7 per cent. or 8 per cent, which has taken place in prices since then.

The effect of the coal and general strikes on the country's overseas busi- ness is best shown by "a" comparison with more recent months, as follows:-

Imports are more than £18,000,000 higher and exports more than £7,500,000 higher than in May, and the totals' are very much better than nright reasonably have been expected in view of the fuel shortage.
