The demand for rice from Stam and Indo-China, is due to the shortage in local markets, as rice prices are now slightly higher than before the introduction of the tax. Consignments are handled by rice merchants in Hong Kong, but pay- ment of the tax is taken care of here by the consignees.

A rice merchant stated that the tax will not cut out foreign rice entirely, while the volume of im- ports will be less than before. Despite reports of rice coming in from Kwangsi.and Wuhu (in An- hwel), their products are not much in evidence among the local rice shops.

So far only the local Agricultural Products Tax Bureau has been formed and is collecting tax On all arrivals from September 16. Similar bureaux are to be estab Ushed in Swatow, Kongmoon, Sze Yap districts, and Hoihow (in Hainan Island), but in the mean- time the tax on rice in those places is being collected by the respective

Chinese Marines Search, Bias Bay

Canton, October 18. Chinese, Press reports state that several Chinese captives held by pirates in Blas Bay were set free by marines and troops who made a clean sweep of that locality last week. The hostages were passen-, gers of the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Co. steamer Yu Shun which was pirated sometime ago shortly after she had left Swa- tow for Shanghal.

No details were given by these Press dispatches, although they seem to indicate that the five or six remaining passengers had re- gained their freedom from the sea rovers. It will be recalled that a month ago

some marines Swabue raided a pirates' den and rescued three prisoners who were passengers of the Yu Shun.
