During the past fortnight the special tele grams from Singapore which we were able to place before our readers reflected the financial condition of the Chinese Bazaar in the Southern Colony. That condition the Singapore Free Press describes as "demoralised and unstable," and under this caption' thus relates the prevailing state, of affairs in the local monetary market. "For some considerable time past the local market has been suffering from what' is euphemistically.called 'depression. The boom of sonic two years ago led all the native firms to buy largely, with the result that they are still very much over-stocked. The purchases were made at a rate of ex change varying from 1/10) to 21, which meant so many more dollars for a pound's worth of goods than at present. The con. tracts were made in dollars, and now have to

NO INDEMNITY CLAIMED.

[From Our Own Correspondent.]

Canton, 7th May. The Lien-chau outrage has now been seitled so far as the Mission and Mission Board is con- cerned. The officers of the Mission in New York refused to make any claim for indemnity for the murdered missionaries. They also refused to ask the U.S. Government to compell the payment of an indemnity for the property for The maller of payment destroyed. destroyed property was left to the option of the Chinest Government, If compensation was offered it would be accepted; if refused no more would be said. A few days ago the viceroy paid into the U.S. Consulate the full amount as estimated by the Commission sent to Lien-chau to investigate. This amosul to about Sacco which include buildings, personal property of the missionaries and the Chinese which amounted to over $to,ogo. The money has been transferred to the Mission nad so the matter stands closed.

GREGOR & CO.,

And although the dollar price of goods in stock has not gone down to an extent cor responding to the rise in exchange, some 're- duction has had to be made, and the gene al holding off of purchasers has produced a [3 very dull state of the market. There have |been other influences at work, too. The recent big fire at Bangkok destroyed some five hundred houses. The inmates nearly all owed money to the local dealers, and as the majority of them were uninsured there is now no chance of the obligations being met. Hence the big failure. This in its turn has affected many more firms and crashes are still following. Another Chin- ese firm has closed its doors this week and their affairs are now being gone fito, with 19, QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL, the probability of a heavy loss, although, as in the case of the recent heavy failure, a composition has been offered, and in default of anything better will have to be accepted by the European firms concerned. The general ly unsettled state of the market has led to a general tightness of money, and it is report- ed that small traders are willing to pay almost any terms for money to meet their five or six months bills. It would be in vidious to do more that indicate some of the causes of the alleged 'rottenness' of our present method of doing business. The doctrine of the survival of the fittest applies to commercial methods, as well as to plants and animals, and the philosopher will con tent himself with believing that in the long run only sound business principles will sur- vive. The acceptance of composition from defaulting firms, the giving of long credits, and competitive credits, to firms of which no reliable information is to hand regarding the MARIE BRIZARD & ROGER, partners-all these will go eventually, as well as the apparent determination of some firms to do business on any terms, To those, however, who have to make a living by dealing with the astute native trader, such philosophic reflections will be nought but annoyance. Still it ought to be possible within the limits of competition, to adopt some practical steps primarily to defend the European merchant, and secondarily to raise tlie standard of trade in the Colony."

The Nichi-Nichi states that the Naval authorities contemplate the sale in the near future of the dock at Tairen to a private firm. It is stated that the dock would be a splendid property, if thoroughly repaired. The duck was temporarily refitted by the Naval authorities after the late way, and the Yahiko Maru is now undergoing repairs there. The Yahiko Maru is a steamer which was used to block the harbour entrance at Port Arthur at the beginning of the war, and is the only one that has since been successfully refluated.
