The development of cold skros in India, the Straits, China, Japan and othe distant markets, seems likely to received upetus from the demand arising in Australia New Zealand for new outlets for their fra?meat and dairy products. Just as the ten pladers of India and Ceylon have discovered durig the past two or three years that the cor ng capacity of the United Kingdom is linligi; did that foreign and Colonial markets inust be deeloped as well, the producers of Australasia arelooking ahead for new outlets, and one of the caditions upon thich their trade must be built the existence of cold storage accommodatio.

The London flower girls are so to speak, "dead nuts" on the rose-the girls who con. regale round the principal centres where a score or more of baskets are often to be found, vote for the rose to "a.man."

will the Laden papers learn that, except for purely comercial matters, Shanghai is not the place from nich to draw their Far Easter news? asks Stafford Ransome in the Pall fall. He go on lo say -

Shanghai is an excelent place, and there are some good and trustorby journalists there, It is not, however, to spot from which to draw one's information at Chinese, Russian, or Japanese politics. Throughout the Far East Shanghai line for yes bean renowned as the great breeding ground of that species of wild duck that cede on he credulous newspaper, The Shanghai Banter is evolved by Euro- peas imagination of of Chinese rumour, with sometimen dash of tpped telegram in its blood.

on Coronation Day. The King is a grent lover of them, his Majesty's favourite bloom being the gardenin.. I will not attempt to prophesy what is likely to be the favoured flower, but I hope it will be one which will come within the reach of every inan, women, and child. You must remember it is June. the time of flowers, and the supply will come from the home counties-though we may get a few red roses from France-for the biggest gardens are in Middlesex, Surrey, Sussex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and list, for it supplies the best "red and pink Berkshire. Surrey; perhaps, stands first in the

English roses.

"Everything will depend upon the weather. If the rose crop is a good one they ought to be readily bought for 1d. or zd, each; but if there is a scarcity of them. owing to a rainy season; they will fetch from 6d. to a shilling each, and even more: Suppose we take it that something like six millions of people will be in London on the great day, and all anxious to wear the chosen bloom. Well, although I have known there to be a delivery of 25,000 roses in a single day at The Garden, yet I do not think we could cope with the demand and find enough to go round!"

Mr. Edward Goodyear of the Royal Arcade, Bond-street, was certainly a little more hopeful on this point. He was of the opinion that he would have no difficulty whatever in procuring six million English red roses if necessary, and indeed double that quantity if needed. Was it not the time of roses? Here was a ray of sun. shine indeed!

-

There was a time, however, when sound political news could be drawn from Shanghai effectively and the pensively. That was during apart of the recent campaign in North China. As all Poking telegrams cames through Shang. hal and, by the juicious expenditure of a few

At the time of the late Queen's Jubilee Gerard's had fifty people at work, and they will need many more than that number for the Coronation.
