The str. Kiangnan, built by the Dock Ca. of that name and run for two trips at the end of last season by the Dock Ca., has now been sold to the Nisshin Kisen Kaisha. The price is said to be Tls. 230,000. It looks as if the Japanese are making a good bid for the trade be-. tween here and Chungking. as they have now more ships'than any other of the companies.

CuInese Merchants in Amoy have telegraphed to Shanghai asking that the shipment of goods be postponed owing to the disturbed situation there.
