The reason for these conditions was recently given by Mr. Moreton Frewen in the North American Feview as follows: "A few years ago when a Chinese merchant wanted to buy. English cloths he could buy gold exchange on London to pay for them at the rate of £10 for 31 silver Tacls..

Now for the same £10 gold he must pay 77 taels and can sell his cotton cloth for little, if any more,, io aliver than he could sell it for in silver in 1873." A correspondent of the Chronicle pute

Crowds of f reigners witnessed the proces- sion from pavilions erected inside the Tang: chihmda area. At 7 a.m. there pavilions were filled with opluckers, although the conège did not pass until 9.15 am.

- The Prince Regent, Prince Ching, the bigb officials of the Waiwupu and the foreign diplo matic representativas preceded the coffis. But the members of the Diplomatic Corps retired from the procession at the pavilions. Gleama of sunlight were then momentarily breaking through an overcast sky and the effect upon tha darding colour seen in the procession was brilliant and indeed most remarkable.

All arrangements for the funeral were carried out by the Waiwapo, in an excellent manner.→ N. C. D. News,
