VICEROY SHUMI

REPORTED "PROMOTION" TO NANKING.

An important ramour which, it is alleged, is well founded was current in Chinese circles in Hongkong this forenoon. It was stated that Viceroy Shum has been promoted Acting Viceroy at Nanking in room of Viceroy Chow-fu.he latter, it is reported, will replace Viceroy Shum ni Canton. If this tumour be true, and it was given to-day on the authority of Chinese from Canton, it means that the Government at Peking have been compelled to act on the representations of the merchants and gentry at Canton, and that the real cause of Viceroy Shum's removal is the attitude be

SIR-I greatly sympathize with your corres pondent "Property Owner." He is quite right in bringing before the notice of the public his grievance which is a germine one. But it ap. peurs to me that the present state of affairs has been brought about by the Colony, itself rather than by the Sanitary Board.

REASON.

Hongkong, 15th March, 1906.

[We appreciate the views expressed by our correspondent "Reason," and are glad to see that the subject-matter of "Property Owner's? letter has been taken up for discussion. Reason" has, in our opinion, so far missed the point that he assumes "Properly Cwner" to be in opposition to the Sanitary Laws of the Colony, whereas, in reality, what he expressed himself distinctly against was the manner in which the laws were enforced. The Laws are undoubtedly for the Colony, but it is the vacilla fion in the methods of administration pursued by the Sanitary officials, and the uncertainty of their. actions in the interpretation of those laws, which arouse the irritation of property owners, and are the points which our correspondent yesterday desired to impress upon the public, with the view of Jedressing the grievances of which he complained.-ED., IKO

Business, apart frisa the rubber bonn, does apt appear to have been of a satis factory nature either in the Strails or the F.M.S. recently, and it is possible that the ac tion of the Government in selecting a figure like 25. qd, which has no convenient relation to the British currency such as a 25 or 2s. 6d. dollar would possess, were anxious to terminate the transitional period as soon as they felt it safe to do so, and allow once more the free import of silver dollars; no longer as currency, has merchandise. In considering the basis selected for the conversion, it is exceedingly difficult to speak with any certainty. If one may judge from the evidence given before the Commission, the course of exchange which we have witnessed was not generally foreseen, and for our own past we very much doubt whether any steps would have been taken to alter the currency basis had it been known that the silver dollar to-day would be about 25. This rise in the price of silver opens up an almost inter- minable field of speculation, to which we briefly alluded in writing last week-viz, the increase of the gold supply of the world relatively to other metals and other commodities, and we

JAPANESE COTTON SPINNING

COMBINE.

If all the projected commercial combines are arried into execution, says a Japanese contemporary; it lanks as if Japan will soon be as much a land of Trusts as the United State The latest report of this kind is that, through the efforts of Baron. Shibusawa and Mr. Iida Güichs, arrangements have been made for the amalgamation of the Osaka Spinning Company, the Mie Spinning Company, and the Osaka Calico Factory. The combined businesses are to be known as the Sarrei Komiai, and the amalgamation is to continue in force for at least seven years. The Mitsui Bussan Krisba 1st have sole charge of the combine's sheetings in Corea, At present the exports of these goods to the Peninsula by the three Companies have totalled about 300,000 rolls' per annum, but it is believed that the amalgamation will largely increase this figure.

This must be due in part, though we believe only in part, to the fall in the dollar.
