Salt to Shantung.

na n

The Peking Ministry of Finar ce has submitted the following docu ment to the President regarding the salt tax in Shantung: "Balt Commissioner Wang Hong-lu of Shantung reported that from Jar- asry of this year, the inx on alt was increased by 50 cents silver per poul. The Salt Guild and several salt companies petitioned that they be allowed to sell alti at the silver rate so that they might be enabled to meet the increase in tax without too much lcna. "Bitberto, although tax was paid in silver, salt was sold according to the copper coin rato and as the exchange 186 of ailver became very high recently becaufe of the European War, the sult merchants offered heavily result. The exchange rate of the silver tael is now 4,300 Shantang cash (215) tor-cash coppere), and, în certain distant districts, the fael T

ce sa high as 4,500 Shan- fung ab (225 copp r coics), The mirebanisrequested that they be allowed to follow the example of Chibli, and cell salt in silver, As to the silver szobango rate, they propose to follow their te fixed by the post offices from fime to time, The Ministry Inde that the statemopt made by tho salt merchants regarding the pre- fent condition is true, and recom. merda that the proposal to ex change the salt price from the copper osin rate to silver rate" be granted, The Miniarry will take care to prevent the merchants from duing any injustice to the corsumere."

Record Cotton Crop Indicated

in. U.9. Report, Washington, Jan. 23.—A record cotton crop for the 1914-15 seasoni was indicated in the CentUA Borean's report to-day, showing 14,907,042 ruauing bales had been ginned prior to January 18. Ginnings from January 1 to 15 amoanted to 460,149 bales and exceeded those of that period in any previous year. They also took the total ginnings beyond any previous year, exceeding the record production year of 1911 by almost 400,000 ba1əs. Until the Census Bureau's final ginning re- port is issued on March 20 the exact size of the 1914 cotton crop will not be known, but it is be- lieved it will be larger than the 1911 record, which was 15,553,073 running bales. It depends upon the quantity ginned from January 16 to the end of the season, which in 1911 amounted to 1,037,274 biles, and for the last five years has averaged 185,590 bales. Blorld as much beginned as in 1911, this year'e crop would be close to 16,000,000 bālos.
