question was relentless and opposed the city Committee by spreading rumours against

murmurs. Voleas such evil acts are severely punished, neither'will the market's equilibrium be preserved nor men's minds bo pacified.

The Taotai has, therefore, requested, by telegram, the Ministry of Agriculture, Indús ́try and Commerce to dismiss the man from his official position1. ↑ He bas also communi. cated with the Viceroy at Nanking to ask Sheng 'Kung-pao, Director-General of the Commercial Bank; to hand him over for punish- mění, and has also instructed the Mixed Court in. the matter.

4.

The dispatch further asks the. Chamber of Commerce to request the Bankars' Guild to. -put on the Committee, an upright and trust- worthy man in the dismissed biüker's place 'and concludes by asking that the names of the parties who have dealt in bare speculations should be pointed out to enable their being arrested and punished.

In connexion with this subject it has been Intely reported that two native' banks' have been on the verge of having to close their doors, but this dianster was averted by other native banks coming to their rescos. It is also believed that a recent case of bau krupicy in the Mixed Court involving a loss of over Tis. 400,000 is traceable to this cause.

On Wednesday, however, the Taotaj inle-, graphed to the Viceroy, at Nanking and the Governorat Soochow that the President and the Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce, Messrs. Chou Ching-chen and Li Hon-yu, and the commitee mer Chia Cholin and Yu Va. 'ching had called personally and interceded with him on behalf of the banker in question, request. ing that he be allowed to resign his positions on the Advisory Committeeofthe Chamber of Com merce and Committen of the Bankers' Guild without other penalty ; and that the two, natívo Banks be mulcted in a sum of money to be given to the Sinza Refuge. Accordingly His Honour requests that this course be followed, pointing out that when the accused banker-bas- retired from the scene, the market will probably

recover.

The Governor in his telegram, in reply, though granting the request in, special, indul- gence, orders the resignation to tasks effect.
