PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

CANTON, August 27th. Five main highway systems have been planned for "Ewangi Pro vinco

Fachwan, Chungshan, Haintu and Waitsap to the boundary of Kwangtung Province. It is in- tended to "connect up with the Canton-Hankow Railway. This will afford a great improvement to the communications of Kwangsi, when completed.

WIRELESS.

A wireless system has also been inaugurated in Ewangs" and the four stations installed at the most important cities of Kwangsi, aro at the following places:-

Liuchow, an industrial district. Nanning, the capital of Kwangsi. Wuchow, an open port of the pro-

vince.

Lungehow, on the throughfare of

Kwangsi to Indo-Chiña."

LONG-DISTANCE TELE- PHONE.

Since there is a highway system in Kwangsi, it is easy to establish long-distance telephones. There is no doubt that the telephone will soon become very popular and four long-distance telephone lines are being installed, and parts of them are now in operation,

THE PIECE GOODS TRADE.

HOW BUSINESS IS BEING CONDUCTED.

TWO CHINESE FIRMS AT LAW.

"PUISNE JUDGE'S RULING,

"The custom is well known in England that where an "agent orders goods on behalf of a foreign prin- cipal, the agent is liable, and there is a aimila: custom in the Pieci. Goods trade in Hong Kong," said Mr. Borace Lo at the Summary Court before Mr. Justice P. Jacks, yesterday morning, when he ap peared on behalf of the Chosen Co, Ltd. in their claim against the Hong Kong Piece Goods Com- pany, for the sum of 9888.93, þeing the balance for goods sold and delivered.

The defendants were not present in Court, and the case was there- fore heard ex parte...

Explaining the circumstances of the claim, Mr. Lo said that the de- fendants dad actually ordered the goods for the Tai Ping Yeung firm Lu Cantan. Two consignments were sent to the defendants on April' 13th and 17th of this year.and the respective amounts were 8901.03 and $995.92.. When these goods were delivered to the defendants, they affixed their chop in acknow- ledgment. This was an act that they had accepted receipt on behalf of the Canton firm. Mr. Lo, how ever, mentioned that this net slóne did not reader the defendanta liable, but that they had made themselves liable in other ways.

Credit was granted by the plain tills to the defendants and not to the Oanton firm. The defendants knew of this fact and had actually made a payment of 8300 to the plaintiffs on account, thus leaving the balance claimed in this action.

Touching upon the custom in which piece goods transactions are conducted in the Colony, Mr. Lo said that a considerable st. Junt of business is done between Hang Kong and Canton in this com modity, and the deals are generally put through on a credit basis.

Where the Canton firms wore particularly well-known to the Hong Kong dealers, busines, would invariably be conducted direct, but in cases where, firms in Canton were not known, deals would be put through by a local agent, and for this reason several agents had sprung up making themselves liable on a commission basis.

After the transactions had been proved, his Lordship gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff,” with costs saying that it was a case | where credit was given to the local firm, and they were therefore liable There was no right of action against the Canton firm. It would be very difoult to take action against the Tai Ping. Yeung as agency would have to be proved and also the fact that they actually ordered the
