There appears to have been an increasing Shanghai and Hankow...18,410,313 demand of late for Japanese coment, and the price has gone up to about 5 yen a cask. All the cement factories are said to have more orders on hand than they can execute, and it is even statel in the vernacular press that manufacturers are finding it profitable to pay penalties for non-delivery rather than execute orders at old prices. Here is a chance for the importer.-Kobe Chronicle.
The prospectus has been issued of the Shang- hai Thuck and Transport. Co., Limited; capital $50,000, in 2,000 shares at $25 each, with power to increase the capital. The provisonal direc- tors areMessrs. F. W. Brown (Messrs. Tay- lor & Co.) G. L. Oberg (Messrs. Schiller & Co. E L. Mondon, L.-M. Johnson, and A. Doster. * The Company will carry and trans- port goods, merchandise, parcels, and packages safely and expeditiously to and from the wharves and from place to place in and around Shanghai on trucks and vans drawn by ponies, etc.
A serious collision occurred off the Associated Wharves at Shanghai on the 10th April between the steamers Teucer and Kalgan. The former was lying moored to the O.S.N. Co.'s upper buoy, when the Kalgan, which was inward bound, in I attempting to clear a large junk steering across the river ran into her. Both vessels were seri- ously damaged, several of the plates in the Teucer's forecastle being smashed, while the Kalgan's stem was badly twisted and several plates stove in. Both ships will have to be docked and it is estimated that about a fortnight will be required to effect the necessary repairs.

This is the sense in which the words were used. The cook thereupon asked for his coat and hearing this Mr. Chope called to the servants to bring the cook-san's coat. We mention this because it serves to show that there was no intention on Mr. Chope's part, to hurt the man's feelings. Scarcely had the man obtained possession of his garment when he threw it angrily upon the dresser and, seizing a large carving knife, rushed at his employer. Luckily the move was seen by Mr. Chope who, although at a dis- advantage by reason of a strained arm, thanaged to seize his assailant's wrist. Mr. Davies, the Chaplain, is staying with Mr. and Mrs. Chope, and, having heard of the character of the cook, this gentleman followed Mr. Chope out and was able to assist him in the souffle. This, as it proved, was most fortunate, as the house boy and one or two other servants promptly sided with the cook and did all they could to assist him to carry out his felonious purpose, one of the creatures seizing Mr. Chope in a part of the body which ensured his being placed practically hors de combat, As a matter of fact he was on the verge of unconsciousness when assisted back to the house by Mr. Davies. The latter, with self-coutrol which is a gredit to his cloth, refrained from striking the cook and, when the man was grappling with Mr. Chope. merely thrust his left hand and arm across his EXPORT OF SILK FROM CHINA AND JAPAN face, eventually forcing him backwards and down a couple of steps into the yard. In doing this the infuriated cook bit the reverend gentle- man's hand severely in several places, drawing blood Eventually assistance was obtained from the police and the cook and boy were locked up. We are glad to say it is Mr. Chope's intention to prosecute the men.
