Arrivals of sea slugs, a famous Chinese delicacy are short and prices have advanced. The supply comes mainly from Australia.

The metal market has been dul! the last few months. -Consumption is short, goods have been overstock- ed and prices have dropped.

The market. for flour is dull but there are signs of improvement in Shanghai. The merchants have hesitated to buy as a good wheat harvest is expected this year.

One effect of the drought has been to increase the amount of salt produced this year and prices have fallen. No salt has been imported into the Colony recently."

The fruit merchants have received i telegram from Tientsin saying that there is a big demand for dates and every probability of a rise in prices.

Onions are among the principal agricultural products of Kwangtung and are exported in huge amounts to Malaya and Europe through Hong Kong, the current price of onion varies from $7.50 to $9.50 per picul.

These goods are now held up owing to the decision of the anti-Japanese boycott to continue its activities and a strict search for *** undesirable, goods is still going on and causing further losses to the merchants.

Business is very bad in Fatahan and unemployment more serious than ever. In the cloth weaving industry alone, over three thousand men are idle and hundreds of smiths are unemployed. Many out of work artisans have become peddlers and others have migrated to other cities.
