More Local Industries

in Trouble

MAKING OF ELECTRIC TORCHES (From. Our Own Correspondent).

Canton, June 20. Another local industry is stated to be facing difficulties. This is the electric torch manufacturing busi- ness, which has been established in the city for several years. As in many other new industries, there was a period of phenomenal success in the initial stages, with the result that too many factories began to be put up. Competition is one of the factors contributing towards the present plight. Another reason, perhaps the most important one, is stated to be the fact that the boy. cott against Japanese goods has deprived manufacturers of the supply of cheap materials with the result that cost of production has greatly increased.

More Bottomley Stories.

The death of Horatio Bottomley has called forth a host of ance dotes about various phases of his career.

Arranging tigor hunts is one of the duties of the Nawab Mahdi Yar Yung, of Hyderabad, who is now in London.

Fire Crackers.

The depression in the fire eracker business in Canton is of course not of recent date. While fire-crackers used to be one of the principal commodities exported from the city, in late years much of the business has been transferred to Hong Kong and Macao. But the position is now made worse by the increasing restrictions on the product in the countries which are the chief con

sumers. The bad state of affairs is teffected in the fact that when the local authorities invited not very long ago tenders from intend ing farmers for the tax on the manufacture of fire crackers in different parts of the province, no response was received. The Goy-
