The sugar market which used to do well during the current month is disappointing. In spite of this merchants are unwilling to lower the prices. Deinand by country merchants is also slack" but,, med- chants believe that there will be a $11 revival in the near future.

•

Last week, large quantities of melon seeds, medicine and” shad- docks, some of the principal pro ducts of Kwangsi, were exported from Wuchow in addition to grain, fire-wood, charcoal and cattle." The importation of foreign goods, etc., however, shows no increase.
