HOGS-The receipts of hogs this morning
were rather light and the week s run has
been of moderate proportions The trade
this morning opened only steady and in
dications were that II would close a little
lower, but local conditions were such that
after a few bids were offered at steady
prices the market suddenly changed into a
sky rocket market The supplies were
small and were not up TO expectations
and there was hardly enough stock in to
make a respectable market ordinarily.
Buyers were wanting stun badly and the
market was distinctly in the sellers favor
Prices all during the trading were uneven,
but higher. When the market first opened
for trading prices were not much, II any
higher, but after a little they advanced a
little, mostly about 2ikc and the market
continued to strengthen until the market
was fully a nickel stronger than yester-
days prices. There was not very much
attention paid to quality or to weight. The
bulk OF the sales took place in the neigh
borhood of A10 while the bulk Of the sales
yesterday were at $t6Jd470 The top for
the day was $477lz, showing an advance

RACE QUESTION I'm JAMAICA.
Withdrawal Of White Troops Received
With Great Alarm.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. November 1S.-s'we first mis-
took you in the dark for a white man, and
are sorry we struck you, but as you have
got your beating you must take It." That
Is the apology tendered by three soldiers
of the West India Regiment after attacking
and beating man of their own color. who
was on his way through the streets of ia
maica. The extract Is from the local paper,
and is sent with the comment. ''These SOL
diers are to be our protectors" The Incl
dent is one which gives point to the strong
complaints that are being made by the
white people In the West Indies against the
withdrawal Of the white troops. Vigorous
action is being taken by the West India
committee In London, but they have met
with a reception the reverse of encouraging
from the colonial officials. Mr.. Lyttleton
received a deputation from the committee
in March this year, and then made SYM
pathetic reply.
Since then the decision to withdraw the
troops has been made final. somewhat to
the astonishment of all concerned. Mr..
Lyttleton has been asked to receive an
other deputation, who would put the case
for the white residents more strongly than
before. This deputation he has declined 10
meet, and the West India committee are
now appealing to Mr.. Balfour direct.
An example of what may happen, IL is
pointed out, was given in Trinidad two
years ago, when the blacks burned down
the parliament buildngs-the Red House
because bill was being promoted to charge
for water by meter. They had been in the
habit of letting the water run all night in

LABOR IN DIAMOND MINES
Introduction of Chinese Gives Sense of
Security.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
JOHANNESBURG, November IS-In
view of many inaccurate statements which
have been circulated in England with re-
gard to the employment of white labor In
the mines, the latest returns issued by the
government mining department merit con-
sideration. The Chinese were introduced In
June, 1904. In anticipation of their arrival
the preceding month saw a sudden aug
nientation of the white staff to the extent Of
3S1 men, For the seventeen months since
that date the increase of employees amounts
to 5.504, an average monthly increase ap-
proxmately of 800. Before that date the
number of white employees in the Transyaal
mines, in spite of an increase of g. 100 ma
tives, remained stationary for six months
the figures for April, 1904, being II IA
against 12,744 in November. 1903. Since
May, 1904, the steady monthly increase in
the number of white employees has not been
checked. The figures of last month were
striking. In spite of decrease of 1850
natives and seventy-one Cinnamon. the in
crease of white employees amounted to 365
and was well to the monthly average.
The native labor returns continue to show
considerable fluctuations. Bad seasons, fol-
lowing upon famine in certain parts
caused sudden addition to the native
recruits at the beginning of the South AZ
rican winter. Last April the number of ma
tives employed in the mines amounted to
loG, fSt, WilIllH I'VE fflontHS lHeTe mas Deen
a drop of 10000. the returns for September
being 97.721, or 151 less than the number
employed last February before the sudden
influx began. The lesson to be learned
from these figures is that the sense OF Sc
curity given to the mines by the introduc-
ton Of Chinese labor enables the expansion
of the industry, as indicated by the steady
increase in the number of white employees
to be carried on regardless of the ffuctua-
tons in the native labor market.
Without the Chinese 1t Is obvious that the
sudden drop of 10 per cent in the labor
supply would seriously handicap the indus
try. while in view of any such possibility,
the owners would not be justified in adopt
ing the policy of steady expansion, which
means SO much both to the Transvaal and
to Africa.
