borhood of the Elephant Mountain.
round and round which the Haiphong
branch of the Songkoi wanders in
most bewildering way. AS we got nearer
the main river, however, it was very
different. On both sides, as far as the
eye could reach over the fiat lands,
stretched paddy-helds, with hundreds
of people-men, women, and children
occupied upon them; the men blowing
or turning up the soil with mattocks,
the women and children breaking the
clods with heavy pieces of wood. Every
where the green ring of bamboos which
denote village could be seen, many of
them running into one another, and ap-
parently extending for miles. Accord
ing to national custom, but few of these
were actually ON the river. and those
that were at all near were protected by
ditch and mud walls, surrounded by
bamboo palisades, in addition to the Or
binary cane fence. There can be no
| doubt that Tonquin is one of the finest
grain-producing countries ia the East,
far surprising anything to be seen in
| the southern provinces of China. with
the exception OF the Canton River delta,
the area of which is, however, much
smaller. Two crops can be raised in
| the year almost everywhere, and in
some parts three is no rarity. The
sugar-cane and mulberry trees which
| are SO abundant in the NamdinA district
are not so much seen between Haiphong
and Hanoi. Add to this that the climate
is one in which for four or five months

Commercial Headquarters In London.

From the Mansion House to the Bank
of England is but a stone s-throw, and
much that will interest the visitor may
be seen in this institution. The bullion
office, the printing department and
other private offices may be seen by an
order. which can be obtained by
written or personal application to amy
of the Directors-Herbert Brooks, Rob-
ert Wegram Crawford, or jaime Pattison
CuTrie are invariably obliging In this
particular. just across the way from
the Bank of England is the Royal Ex-
change. The present building is the
third of its name; the first, built by
Queen Elizabeth in 1879, was destroyed
in the great fire, and the SECOND was
burned in 1888. 1t is an oblong, with
an inclosed courtyard open to the sky,
with a covered promenade running
around it. A marble statue of her
Majesty stands in the middle of the open
space, and around this merchants and
traders eongregate shortly after midday.
High Change is about two o'clock.
Notice the ceiling of the promenade =
1t is divided by beams and paneling
and luxuriously decorated, numerous
busts and armorial bearings of emil
nent men are to be seen here.
Above the promenade are Lloyds rooms,
which are worth seeing. Here are
the headquarters o: the maritime insar-
ance world. In the library at Lloyds
may be seen policies of assurance on the
life and freedom of Napoleon l. up TO
June l, 1913, and other curious docu-
ments. Notice. too, the splendid black
oak furniture, made from the wreck of
a man-of-war which was lost in the last
century. A walk of less than a minute
takes one from here to the Stock Ex-
change in Capel Court. Strict privacy
is maintained and visitors are not ad-
\ initted, but the curious may walk right
