The report and accounts have been in your hands for some days and with your paralision I will, as usual, take them as road. Before moving their adoptios there is really very little to say in farther explanation. The mill has worked satisfactorily on day work only through-

There has, unfortunately, been no improvement in the vexed question of watered cotton and, it seems, "very little practical relief can be expected locally Owing to the strong competition for the staple between local mille and Japan. The remedy would be to leave Chinese cotton severely alone for a season and to draw the necessary supplies from other markets where water is not added, but this is, I am afraid, only occasionally possible,

The reacted people, luformed me about 47 people in all were on board when leaving the other side of the river. Great credit is dus to the Captain, Officers and crew of Paishing and Toonan for the promptitude and energy displayed in the lowering of their boats in the face of such bad weather with such a strong current and bigh sea running. It really was marvellous that any one was rescued to tell the tals.
