Russia and Japan.

LONDON, 29th January, The Daily Graphit states that, in spite of yesterday evening's telegrams from St. Petersburg, it is able to positively affirm that Russia's reply was completed on Wednesday and approved of by the Tsar. Though not yet despatched, the substance of the reply has been communicated to the Japanese Minister in St. Petersburg, who has tele graphed it to his government, by whom it was conveyed to the friendly Powers yester- day. The reply is courteously worded but absolutely refuses to re-insert the word "China," previously struck out of the clause in the draft treaty by which Russia and Japan agree to respect the integrity of China and Korea. It is anticipated that the official presentation of the reply will be followed by the withdrawal of the Minister from St. Petersburg, and a notification front Japan that she has no alternative but to take up arms in defence of her interests.

FINANCE.

A correspondent, writing to the Singapore Free Press on 22nd ult., says :-

The course of exchange since the beginning of the year finishes at date at about the com mencing level, viz., 1/10, but during the three weeks, owing to Intian buying, has been as high as 1/109-16 ths, and consequent on the Cessation of strong buying has now eased off 10 1/10 again,

Co-day's Advertisements.

With reference to this it is interesting to note the Market Report received last mail, of one of the London "Metal Kings," who stated that 5,0co,coo Mexicans from this part of the world were lying in Londos probably to be con verted into bars, and he therefore expected an easy ruling in the price. On the con- trary the p ice has slowly risen subsequently, but exchange having risen in parity, there is still no inducement to shipments, as it can only be done at a loss of about 3-16 ths, per dollar today. Heavy shipments are how- THEATRE ever taking place to Chinese ports, some of which must surely be in anticipation of war up north, as Japan has heavy payments to make to China for rire, cora and other warlike pro- vis ns. Should war become an actuality rates of exchange should harden, as notwith standing Japan being a gold country, she will OF THE ONLY FREEAR require large amounts of silver to pay troops, and buy from China, and other Eastern states, more especially will this be so if China join cause with Japan, and the tone of Japan's last note makes such a junction of forces more than a possibility.

DANCE AT THE R.A.0.B. CLUB.

The members of King Edward VII Lodge R.A.0.B. gave a very successful dance on Saturday night at their Club Rooms, which were prettily decorated for the occasion with Bags and ferns. At each end of the ball room, large portraits of the King and Queen were displayed, while a photo of the Grand Seere Tary, Sir Wilson Marsh, Grand Lodge of England, occupied a prominent position. ver one hundred members and friends attended and dancing was kept up until midnight, a special launch conveying Kowloon residents from Blue Buildings pier at 12.30. The committee are certainly to be co gratulated upon the results of their efforts, as they all worked their hardest I make every one at home. The same may be said of the members upon having such a painstaking and hard working committee. The “Royal Antidilovianrder of Buffaloes" has only two Lod,es in China, one here and a very flourishing one in Shanghai.

FREIGHT.

Messrs. Lamke and Rogge, writing under aturday's date, state-

The better feeling which pervaded the freigh market a fortnight ago has continued; business. remains steady, with rather more activity and up to the time of writing a fair amount of char tering has come to pass.

Recent advices from Saigon have it that rice is coming in more freely now and the local market laring gone up considerably of late, owing chiefly to a fair demand for Japan, chartering would seem to have become pra- cticable at rates which leave a reasonable margin. A couple of charters effected about a week ago were drawn at the improved rates of 12/13 cents per picat, but since then higher quotations have been received continuously and quite recently tonnage is wanted at as ligh as 20 cents per picu, one hxture being reported at that rate. Whether this sudden and rather unexpected change for the better will continue is of course an open question, but it has any how strengthened the market considerably and in face of further inquiries from various quarters, the general outlook is much better than an icipated some time ago,

The Saigon Philippine trade has been a bit quieter and negotiations for tonnage have not led up to much business. Some forward chartering is said to have been done at 28/29 cents per p cul, but details have not transpired. For lava ports, chartering does not appear comparatively cheaper from Rangoon. pract cable at present as grain can be imported

For Japan, a charter is reparted at 35 cents per picul, March delivery at Saigon.
