UNFOUNDED RUMOUR. To the Editor of the Ilongkong
Telegraph.
Sir,-Will you be good enough to correct an anfounded rumour concerning a shortage in the Flood Relief Fanda of the Tung Wa Hospital? Mok Yuk-chi was the representative of the Rico' Hong on the Committee of the Tang Wa Liospital for the current year and the purchases of relief rice were all made by the Tung Wa Iloapital from him as prin- eipal. All the rice ordered ins been duly delivered and paid for and the Tang. Wa Hospital hold his receipts for the full amounts. The Flood Rolief Fande are therefore in no way affected by his disappearance.
Youra faithfully,
E. R. HALLIFAX, Secretary for Chinosó Affairs,
Hongkong, 1st, August, 2014.
In our report, of Friday last,
wo-made no mention of the name of Mok Yuk-chi: and we made it
clear that, the rice had boon delivered, to the Tung Wil Hospital.-Ed.]
JAVA SUGAR INDUSTRY.
In the fudische Mercur a do- tailed story appears of the sugar industry and trade of Java dur ing the past 25 years, and, inter alia, it is shown that the con- sumption of sugar in the Dutch ladies is relatively very small. It does not amount to over 50,000 tons for the whole of the archipelago. "The balanse, of coareo, goes to foreign countries. The distribation in the year 1912 was as follows:-Europe, 142,244 tons, or 11.1 per cent. of the total; America, 40,873 tons, or 3.2 per cent.; Australia, 92,261 tons, or 7.1 per cent.; China, 201,690 tons, or 16.3 per cent.; British India, 461,845 tons, or 35.8 per cout; Singapore, 101,320 tons, ar 8.1 per cent.; and Japan, 250,164 tons, or 18.4 per cent. Compared with preceding years the movement outwards of Java sugar has undergone considerable modifications, The export to Europo W38

fell to a very low level in 1903, and rose again to the figure quoted above in 1912. The largest buyer in the year 1902 was America, and it stands lowest in the list of buying countries in the year 1912, China has always been a good customer, but did bettor in 1012 than ever before. British Indis, which in the earlier years bought practically none, was by far the largest buyer in the year 1912, and Japan, the uext largest, which took none at all in 1892 and only 08,670 tons in 1902, rapidly rose the Java sugar makers, besides to 230,104 tone in 1919.
