THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Advices by the mail from Shanghai to-day, bring more reassuring news of the financial situation in the Northern Settlement, which unfortunately, by reason of the intimate tradal relations between Hongkong and the northern port, has not failed to reflect its in- fluence on local native financial circles, The suspension of payment by two pative commercial houses of good repute in Hong- kong was the direct outcome of the financial stringency of the branch houses in Shanghai;· for, so far as Hongkong busincas was con- cerned; there was nothing to imperil the final stability of the houses that have since, closed their doors. The fear that other Hongkong Chinese honga, having commer- cial intercouse on a more or less extensive scale with Shanghai, might also bé tottering may now be partially allayed by the brighter outcome at the latter port, as a result of the timely assistance which the foreign and Ta Ching Banks have rendered to the Shanghai

Before Teaving this particular point, how ever, we may mention that in Java and Soma- Ira is well, though in a mora modified degree, the practice of surrounding planted sections on some estates of Hever with bolts of coconut- trees in finding considerable favour. It is bellaved that a three or four row deep belt of Coconut-trees round, say, a 300-acre section of Hevea rubber, estate will act as a protection to the rubber, and materially help iù preveni ing disease, should it break out in any part of a property, from spreading among all the rub. ber. This, xo_ar_01_190_cao 'discover, is the pearest approach to what might be termed Inter-cultivation of coconut-trees and Hevea Brasiliensis and a moment's consideration will soon convince the avenge reader that such a method is not interplanting in the usually accepted sense of the word..

Among the largest users of copra oli and coconut-bu ler Germany ranks high, and it in open to questi in whether that country is not actually the largest consumer of coconut product. It is, however, not as easy matter to decide which country is the largest consumer, for, in addition to copra and the Dil and butter obtained therefrom, cocosef yarn and cair have to be taken into consideration, and materially complicate any attempt to pat the consumption by countries in statistical form. The main point, however, is that, so far an copra products are concerned, the general Euro pean demand is constantly increasing, and is likely to continue to increase so long as civilized populations are growing—and use soap.
