QUITE a war among the dealers in Benares opium in Hongkong has commenced within the last week or two. When the Importers-such as Messrs. Sassoon; Belilios & Co.; and others sold opium formerly to the Chinese middlemen, the latter had the pick of the entire stock. About three years ago this system was altered, and they only got the choice of three for every cheat they bought. Lately the number has been reduced to two, and they object. In conse- quence they have combined, and purchased 400 chests direct through their Calcutta agents, experimentally. On the other hand the greit importers have begun to compete with the middlemen by sending small quantities to Canton, Coast Ports, Formosa, etc, a thing they never did before. It is a question of who has the longest purse.

LAST werk rews was received here to the effect that in consequence of frauds committed by opium dealers in Calcutta several banks had been involved in very serious loss. Telegrams received to-day shew that the frauds were com- mitted by an employé in the firm of E. S. Gubbay & Co., named Solomon. The custom among the merchants in Calcutta is to buy opium at the Government sales, and pay for it as removed. Solomon, we understand, forged a document purporting to shew that the firm held 200 chests so bonded, and obtained very large
