FUTURE OF HONGRONG.

In the far eastern press, says Science, Boston, there bave of late, apprated significant articles calling attention to the steady change in the status of those great ourgiasts of Imperial Driisin Hongkong and Singapore Although not clearly foresees, the change that is coming over this Just pari, kigateway to the cast, is the Ingical' - antcoms : of growik of the numerous minor ports surrounding the Straits of Malacca-ports that owe their very rise to the mercantile pioneer work done by Siogapore. The wares. that used to be distriboted from that centre, are more and more shipped, in bulk to the sur rounding countries direct, with the result of coquiderably diminishing the local trade while Increasing the through shipping trado.

„FUTURE ADVANCEMENT.

For this shipping trade Singapore is ideally stunted; a growing Anglo-Saxna common- wealth Australia and New Zealand-to the southwest, the East Indies with its riches to the south," undeveloped lado:Chion to the noith, waking Chins and buifling Japan and manufacturing Amarica expanding Canada to the north-east ;'consuming and manufacturing fadis in-ike west and behind it the Moham- madan world the Levant and Europe. But in * this position Singapore stands by no`mean" alone and it is a gueracies for the future advancement of Singapore that, the days of the monopoly having gone by forever, British, enterprise there has to struggle lustily to main ta'n its supremacy against the rise of pom peting ports scattered about the Dutch pou sessions along the Straits Singapore, however, bas an enormous asset in the fact that it will be some day the southern terminus of the rail. ronds of Asin. None but a British port can be that terminus for the reason that the last sech tion of that isilróið line must run ibrough the British Malay peninsuls, the hinterland of Singapore, Baigon, the capital of French lado. Chios, it is true, will be a close second, a fact which by eliminating monopoly must stimulate

British setivity still further. The vast improve ments that are now being carried on in Singa pore testify to be alacrity exemplified in the adjustment to the new conditions that will re- salt in their ultimate mastery.

The Yawale Foundry was established first with a capital of yes 4,000,- a00 or so, but the amount of capital is now increased to yen 30,000,000, and it is at pres ent the biggest iron foundry in Japan.
