FURNITURE:

THE PRICE OF SECOND- HAND GOODS.

If I had a thousand pounds with no particular call on it, says "W. F. in the Daily News. 1. would invest it in second-band furniture, confident that the

money would double itself within

a year, Lest however, there should be people in a hurry to take advantage of this 100 per cent. investment, let me offer a warning on the obstacles in the

way.

The first and chief one is to get the goods. By this I do not mean that they are not to be had, but simply that if you want to get them you will have to elbow out of the way those who to-day are determined that the fewest possible number shall share in this real gilt-edged investment.

In my particular district. there are half a dozen men' who not o long ago worked at the cabinet- maker's bench. The war sent up the price of new furniture, and these ex-cabinet-makers have sent up the price of the old. It was innocently thought, when the price of the new goods began to soar, that the old might be used as some sort of a check. This is where the ex-cabinet-makers stepped in; with the result that to-day second-hand furniture is being ofered in the dealers' shops at three times its original cost,

The method by w ich this result is achieved is a simple one. The ex-cabinet-makers attend every sale from that in a work- man's cottage, due to his death, to that in the home of the man sold up to pay his debts. They arrive early-in motor-cars--and remain late. They buy anything and almost everything-from a fire shovel to a grand piano,

They commence the bidding: and unless the private man is possessed of the very longest purse they finish it, Their aim is to buy everything and they will pay twice the price offered by the private purchaser: for. having secured the goods, they can then place what price they like upan it.

At an auction sale recently drawing-room furniture was sold at twice and bedroom furniture at three times its original cost. An old piano- and it was very old-was knocked down to one dealer for £19. It appeared in his shop not half a mile away on the following morning at £33. A hedstead which before the war could have been bought for 50s. was rushed up to £7; and a hall stand was knocked down for £7 15s.. to appear in another deator's window next day at 15 guineas. These cases could be multiplied a hundredfold.

The auctioneer? "He cracks a joke, smiles broadly and strokes his chin. High prices suit his book admirabiy. He is quite content.

OPIUM-GROWING,

RIFE IN YUNNAN,

The following letter from a friend in Yunnan has been sent to a Shangbai resident :--

Chaotong, Oct. 19.

I am writing you re the opium planting that is going on bera openly and unshamed after years of restriction. Yesterday at the South Gate men were seen plant- ing it. The seed can be bought for 80 cents a pint and one of the members of the richest families in the city hes sent 5 bushels of the seed to be planted by his tenentry in the neighbourhood. Among others, a Hsiang-ioh has publicly planted, in the people era venturing. The strange thing is that the mandar. in has very stringent proclamat- ions at the city gates, but the people all know that these are merly put out to appease the foreigners.

No doubt revoque is earnestly needed. How can the North be sashed by the South without

So arms? we will flood the country with opium and then with the acquired revenue let fire and sword have free play and then we will sing patriotic songe about love of country.
