The wool industry has also fewer orders in hand than in the previous year, the reason for this being the same "as in the cotton industry, namely, the uncertain price de velopment of the raw material and the incapability of the wholesale trade to keep large stocks owing to lack of capital. The present fashion is, on the other hand, favouring the velvet industry.

Unemployment in the textile in dustry increased from 6.2 per cent. of the members of the general German trade union in June to 7.6 per cent. in July. The increase of unemployment in the shoe industry during the same period was still bigger, namely, from 11.2" per cent., to 19.8 per cent.

Nevertheless, the men who used to control the industries of the provinse "fully acknow- ledge" their debts, and in spite of heavy losses are prepared to pay whenever the money can be handed over. The letter tells us of a cer tain rice mill keeping, in a number G: small hoards hidden from soldiers and bandits, the sum due to its English creditor. What it could aot undertake was to transmit the money in safety to the coast. A Chinese salesman, over 60 years of age, took the risk of going to fetch it. Chang went in his oldest clothes. As soon as he got up country his straw hat was taken from him. He was told that only wealthy people could afford to wear straw hats. Barebeaded, he reach ed the debtor's town and found that the man had gone into hiding from kidnappers. As one of the chief business men of the place, his life was insecure, and he had to keep five different places to sleep in. The money, nevertheless, was duly paid. in notes and silver. Chang started back for the coast. He him- self carried the notes, while two trusty helpers shared the hefty burden of 1,200 silver dollars. Each took a different route to minimise suspicion and danger, and they made their first stage of sixty miles safely. Then Chang went HONG KONG METEOROLOGICAL sick and could not look after him- self or the ensh: His hotel-keeper packed up the money for him, put him on board a river steamer, and sent a servant to see him safely to Shanghai. It is natural that his employer should speak warmly of the "sheer loyalty" of Chang. But the whole story, says The Daily Telegraph, is cheering evidence that the brutality and misery of these years of chaos have not availed to destroy the solid honesty and fidelity of the Chinese character. For generations it has been a proverb in the East that a China man's word is his bond. Whatever the distress of the present anarchy, we have ground for hope that the old virtues will endure and yet save China,
