does it all mean? Only one rational conclusion can be drawn, which is that, like similar movements in connection with the China and Manila Co.'s shares, with "Punjoms," and with the scrip of the Steam Launch Company, another bare- faced "plant" has been successfully carried out by a gang of enterprising traffickers whose being at large is à standing menace to the well-being of the community at large. A powerful "corner." has been skilfully rigged, and those who have taken liberties with the Rope Co.'s shares, by selling for forward delivery what they never possessed, are most effectually "cornered."

ACCORDING to a Java papera large syndicate has been started by Europeans and Chinese with the object of smuggling opium from Singapore into Java. The syndicate musters thirty members and the Europeans engage to run the smuggling department, the Chinese undertaking to devise means for selling the drug by retail dealing. YESTERDAY after tiffin the Chinese servant of Lieut. Scott, of the gist Regiment, cleared out with a presentation watch worth $150, a ring, some $40, and a blanket. Luckily the theft was shmily afterwards discovered, and the police, on being informed, caught the boy "on the Powas, which was to leave that evening for Canton, the charge, but on inquiries being made the watch was found in a gambling-house kept, probably, by a receiver.

It has one peculiar point about which will make the judgment interesting, affecting as it does a deeply-rooted custom amongst the Chinese.
