Chinese Cling to Ancient Cere-
monies.

Peking, Feb. 13 (Bv MaiE-Tn
spite Of the fact that Ching dynasty
has been out Of power since 1911
and the present emperor Of China
is virtual prisoner in the For
cidden City of Peking. all cere-
monies connected with the Manchu
enaperors are still kept up. At the
recent Chinese New Years cele-
bration the customary honor was
paid to the spirits Of the emperors
in their resting place at the Eastern
Tomba. Offerings of food and pro-
visions We're placed before the
tombs and the old Manchu officials
who are still retained in office by
the Ching dynasty kowtowed ac-
cordins to the custom prescribed in
Manchu house law for the imper-
ial family.
These officials are experiencing
considerable difficulty in following
out all the old customs because Of
the lack Of funds available COR the
upkeep Of the emperors' tombs.
The funds promised to the imper-
ial family by the republican gov
ernment are usually very tardily
paid with the result that poverty is
facing the one-tinle affluent Man
chus. At the eastern tombs many
of the Manchus, deprived of the
annual stipend formerly paid by
the imperial government. have been
forced TO become satherers Of
wood and charcoal in order to
support themselves. The old towns
and villages are falling into ruins,
the forests Of the huge tract de-
voted to the burial of the emperors
are fast becoming devastated, and
the monumental ,ombs are begin
ming TO fall into ruin and decay.
Every effort is being made by the
officials of the tombs, however, to
maintain the glory Of the dead en-
perorS, and the ceremonies at New
Years typified the attitude Of these
faithful adherents Of departed
order who refuse TO allow the
glory of the Ching dynasty and the
Manchu rule to be dimmed.

and stocks on passage may show
an increase for the week while

rate which creates enthusiasm
among holders and will have to
shrink much faster to get low
enough to make an acute scarcity
Crop reports from the southwest

says reports from there at present
are Of little value as its impossible
to tell how much acreage will be
abandoned In other sections loss
of acreage is expected to be small.
There is said to be an extended
short interest in wheat which may
cover for few days and advance
prices.
Foreign demand for corn has
fallen off and domestic demand is
unusually small. New crop Ar
