imposed by the Provincial Go vernment of Canton-taxation which has grown tog $6003 chest+but the most recent development throws the whole _position_of_the_trade into 4 still greater muddle and spells disaster to the old-established opium firms while offering induce ment-to-now firms to supply the Chinese market. To meet the wishes of the Chinese Govern- mont, the Government of India. not only placed-a-limit on its annual sale of the drug, but i further placed a limit on the ex- port to China. That limit, at the present time, we understand, is about 10,000 chests per annum. while for export to the Straits Battlements as many as 20,000) chests are sold."'. Obviously this is for in excess of the requirements, of those Bettle menta and the result must be that much of this opium will find its way into China. In fair 11888 to the Indian Government, must be said that in placing sever limititions on the export to Chine they, would naturally suppose that only such opium as the Indian Government certified for the Chi- nese market would be admitted into China. Consequently opium disposed of by auction at Calcutta for export to China is sold at a very much higher price than the opium sold for export to the Straits.

THE PERSIAN GULF.. The question of the overlordship of the region of the Persian Gulf has been a subject of international discussion over since, in-1802, the Intrigues of the Powers began to become sinbarrassing to the Int perial Government. Russia with designs on a coaling station in the open waters of the south, Germany in search of a terminu for the proposed Baghdad Nail- way, and Franco in support of Rus sis, acting respectively through Teheran and Constantinople, had cansed both Pornia and Turkey to awaken,to an interest in thøjr rights over the tribes and littoral of the Persian Gulf.
