The theory is that it is re-exported; either to |England or America. The reasÒI

obvious. The value of the metai in the dollar is greater than the value of the dollar itself, due to the fact that China has succeeded in preventing an advance In the value of her currency in propor- tion to the price rise of the metal. China placod an embargo on sliver; exporta. Hence the netivity of certain "merchants" who smuggle

The extent to which we are dependent on outside sources is shown by the fact that some 350,000 pigs, valued at ten-million-dollara, are. imported every year, whilst three million dollars' worth of live poultry and about two million dollars' worth of eggs are brought in every year. The production for purposes of local consumption is only an infinites- imal percentage of these figures, It is obvious, therefore, that there is ample scope for the development of both industries, At the present time, the breeding both of pigs and poultry in the New Territories is carried out on most haphazard lines, with little, if any, organised method.
