In a leclui'e at Dunedin, Mr, Hwang, Chinese Consul, said: "You want us to he nice to you, to admit all kinds of people to our shores, and concede all sorts of privileges, and yet in your countries (Australia and New Zealand, that , is) you place all sorts of restrictions upon our people coming in. I under- . stand that here your auctioneers will . not sell fruit to Chinese. They claim Ihat thvy will monopolise the retail ' trade, and that your people will lose fhe business. Tn China you people can open ! in any enterprise, and it is not said that 1 they will monopolise the trade. Yet .t is fne same thing. That is not fair, t think. Our people are doing very little business. How can thev hope to beat! ■ Englishmen in their own country? Th>'\ j are strangers here, tliey do not kmnv | the language well, they Mre not murV lilted, and so how can they compete with your people?" The city of IJudapest. in order to furnish good bread to the public at a cheap price, has decided to establish a municipal bakery capable of producing 50,000 pounds of bread daily, says the London Times. This will i>e a public enterprise, and is meant by competition to compel the general production of bread equally good and equally cheap—prices being based upon the actual price, of wheat and flour—as that furnig-ied by the municipality. This bakery will be a model one. Modern machinery will be used, and all immediate contact by workmen with the bread will Ik* avoided. Besides this, the burgomastvr says, the bakery, by the wholesale purchase of flour and other articles of production, will tend to reduce the price. The expense of building this municipal bakery will hp £25,000, not inclining the value of the site. The rooms for preparing tin- dough, the baking rooms, and the bread magazines are all spacious and well lighted. Near by are tw.) groups of buildings, one containing the engine-house, tho electrical plant, and places for storing and preparing potatoes the Hungarian public being fond of bread made of ■wheat mixed with potatoes), and the consisting of stables and coach-houses. The bread will he sold partly in special shops belonging to the municipality and partly by private provision merchants at a price fixed hy the municipality.
