(From Our Own Oorrespondent,)

SWATOW, April 30. Still more bankruptcies have taken place since my last letter and the financial situation is considered very critical. There has never been such a deplorable state of affairs within memory and ono wonders what is going to happen next,

The Chamber of Commerce is hold- ing frequent meetings to discuss the situation, and it is said that some kind of assistance is to be ren- dered by this body.

In Ampou, a town five miles away from Swatow by rail, a strike

is going on among owners of res taurants and small eating shops. The question at issue, is one of taxation. These houses refuse to tolerate the tax of 3 per cent. on
