Prices of vegetables, have risen recently due to shortage of both arrival and stock. Of late there has been a brisk demand from Hong Kong. Vegetables of common grade such as cabbages are sold at pine dollars upwards per picut and there is every probability of still higher pricca.

Prites of fruit have also advanced and fruit is not lasting well this year. The semi-tropical climate of Kwangtung makes the Province one of the best fruit producing parts of China and large quantities of "lichee," oranges, pine-apples water-chestnuts and sugar-cane, bananas are exported:

TRAGEDY.-

ARCHDUKE RUDOLPH'S.

INTRIGUES.

LOVE AND BRAINS.

What were the exact events, that led in 1989 to that mysterious and historic tragedy of the Archduke Rudolph of Austria and the beauti ful Maria Vetsera, who were both found dead in the hunting lodge of Mayerling

The popular version has always been that the archduke drew his revolver, shot, Marie Fetsera, and covered her body with roses then lodged a bullet in his own brain.

Mr. Ralph Nevill, that most enter. taining historiap, gives a fresh ver sion of the affair a Women of Some Importance" (Herbert Jen-" kins, 188. net), which describes in

fascinating manner all those who have been the centres of the great romances that have been revealed in Europe for centuries.

Baron's Story. "The late Baron Campbell von charming Scotsman. Laurentz, a who had charged with the German cavalry at the 'battle of Mari la Tour, in the war of 1870," writes Mr. Nevill," and been afterwards attached to the Court of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha (formerly Duke of Edinburgh) told me quite another story.

"According to him the Archduke Rudolph, although in love with Mademoiselle Vetsera, had been carrying on an intrigue with the wife of his chief huntaman, a man of good family, who also had quar ers at Mayerling. The latter, who had his suspicions of the archduke, shot him dead from the top of a staircase where he had heard a compromising conversation which his wife and the archduke had been
