It may be remembered that some time ago we made reference to the action of the Chinese

suthorities in Canton requiring dealers in opium to obtain permits from the police before they would be allowed to carry on their busi. sess. The Chinese opium merchants stro-gly objected to this order which was promulgated shortly before the arrival of the new Viceroy, presumably with the object of convincing His Excellency of the energy and vigilance of the police. It is true that the regulation axinted prior to its enforcement at this time but it had been allowed to drop lato derustude; in other words, it was a dead letter until a und- de spurt on the part of the authorities recalled to their mind the fact that such an order was to be found in the official pige:o holes.

The Hongkong merchants have now decided to enlist on their behalf the interest of the Chamber of Commerce in order that the opium trade with Canton may no longer remain under a ban. and a communication setting forth the facts of the case and pressing the claims of local traders has been sent to the Foreign Office in London..
