The Chinaman looks upon foreigner

not make his appearance every day, adj
vantage must be taken Of the present OPP

without number we have heard passers
by on road and river congratulate our
men on the good job they have on
hand. feeling sure the stranger could not
have escaped It least small amount Of
squeezing. - "Ha Lo-ah. Ten dol

than one or two dollars; but our men
laugh back the Jest. 1T has a shadow
it Is real-forty dollars, you mean" As
a rule, missionaries expect TO pay half as
much again as a native gentleman. The
plan is a wise one, for the extra sum IS
very small, and the hard working coolies
keep on good terms with Us. We have
known foreign merchants pay eight and

markets were largely controlled by promi-
ncnt operator. Wheat UrcDed this morning
where II closed last night, and closed about

were sellers when II touched 81 &c. Any
natural action of the market was impossible

May was 5i%@5lHc and nc, closing at
