There le no doubt that much labour has been spent in como quarters to cultivate an impression that rents, are playing an im- portant part in determining the prosperity of trade in the Colony. The attack on the Hongkong dollar has apparently ceased and it is the Hongkong landlord who has now come in for his share of mud- slinging.

Merchants, however, are not to be blamed if in their concern for restoring the sole object of their devotion to normality, they oc casionally over-reach themselves and tread on other people's toes. They are only to be pitied, as mary a remedy devised by themselves has been tried, but no signal success has been in sight. They have re membered to put the cause of de- pression down to avery thing and to every one else, but they have managed to forget that perhaps it is with their very own selves that they have to contend.
