LOW EXCHANGE AFFECTS FOOD PRICES IN WUCHOW.

The prevalence of rumours of the possibility of Nanking troopy attacking from Kiangel and war with Kwangtung have had the effect of depreciating Kwangal bank notes and silver coins, the values of which have dropped to something like $100 Kwangsi money to about $50.00 (IK.) or even leas. According to travellers who arrived recently from Wu- chow, the low exchange has caused a great increase in food prices.

A few days ago there wag a meeting among the Kwangsi native bankers at Kweilin, and resolu- tion's were adopted whereby the murchania will petition the govern, ment to supply a certain amount of silver to the government bank in Kweilin with the view to restoring Kwangai notes to their former footing. The authorities have also been requested to publish notifications assuring the people of the continuance of ponce and tranquillity,

Likewise the shipping companies are much affected by the state of uncertainty which prevails. There has been a great decrease in goods and passengers on the Wuchow- Canton steamers on account of the fact that Kwangsi troops in the West River districts have ro turned to the province to guard the Hunan-Kwangsi frontiers. The | merchants and travellers are ap- prehensive of a recrudescence of bandit and pirate activities at one Line 40 common In Went River districts: Some of llie Canton- Wuchow steamers have had to suspend sailing on account of the very small amount of cargo and few pussengers,

HSIN WAH VICTIM?

REMAINS OF A CHINESE WASHED ASHORE.

The body of a Chinese was yes- terday found on the north coast of Cape D'Agullar, which is about a quarter of a mile from the spot where the ill-fated Hsin Wah sünk with. considerable loss of life some weeks ago.

The body is in an advanced stage of decomposition, the forearms and the legs below the knees being misa- ing. When found, the body was clothed in blue and white check clothing, and attached to It was part of a standard life belt. In the pockets were found a pair of horn- rimmed spectacles, a pocket book, Chineau cash and a seal chop. Pro- vided that the articles have not suffered badly by their long immer. alon, it may be possible to establish the man's identity when the, arti- cles have been received at the Water Police Station,

It appears likely that the body has been released from the sunken vessel, which is probably now breaking up, and recently floated to the spot where it was found.
