CHEMICALS AND METALS. The latest report issued by Sir T. W. Royse and Co.. Ltd., states that with re- gard to chemicals there, was some improve- ment in demand, but busiuess ba-5 become quiet again. There is an increase in the price of litharge and red lead by 20s. per ton. Yellow prussi&te of potash is scarce, and is advancing. With regard to other chemicale matters are, generally speaking, just the savae. Minerals.—In iron ore a fair business is being done. Imports are heavy, the in- crease during the past eight months, as compared with tho. same period of 1915, being 640,054 tons. In pyrites the position is strong, consumption is active, prices are firm. M.e.tals.-There has been considerable activity in pig iron during the month, but latterly business has been quieter. Copperha.s been steadily advancing, 1:6 10s. per ton, and continues firii. at this advance. Tin is steady; spelter is irre- gular, hut business is improving; whilst pig lead is much the same.

ANGLER ANGLING! I PICTORIAL RECORD OF MUMBLES PIER FISHING CONTEST.

I SOME FISH!" This competitor is a born angler. He manfully endeavoured to persuade those, present that this capture weighed" eigh-I teen pounds," but as the song hat h it, "They wouldn't believe me!"

THE PATH OF KULTUR. ———— ———. How: Rumanian Ministers Were Treated., Petrograd. Friday (received Saturday).— The Turks treated departing' Rumanian diplomats with every possible considera- tion, their courtesy thus affordihg a strong contrast to the Bulgarian, Austrian and German authorities. The Turkish Government informedt he Legation that they had arranged to pay all expenses of the journey. The Sofia authorities never- theless demanded 850 francs for the con- veyance ot baggage to Austria. The Turkish Charge D'Affaires, evidently on the instructions of- his Government, ap- proached the, Bulgarian authorities, and asked that no money should be taken from the party. The Bulgarians thereupon waived, their demand for money, but kept the luggage at Sofia. M. Padrano, the Rumanian Consul at Rustchuk, wps treated like a criminal after P.IlDiania,i declaration of war against Austria. The Consulate was surmund-ed. ajid the consul evidently marched out between soldiers and irendarmps and driven in an open vehicle in pelting rain to the station out- "ide Rutcltuk. In the train soldiers with rifles were seated on either side and oppo- site him. The journey to Sofia took four days and nights ,and although the weather was very hot, he was not ohce allowed to leave the- carriage or open the window. The soldiers took turns to obtain breaths of fre&h air in Derussi. The Rumanian ?nnister at Sona, in -?tr interview, said that. four days after the Rumanian declaration of war Against Austria members of the Legations were! informed th-at they were henceforth under I detention on the premises of the Legation, which were surrounded by an armed j guard. The telephone was cut off. Ko I newspapers were allowed, and fancy prices were .charged for food. They were. kept in seclusion for ten days, when they were taken to the station, where they met their Constantinople colleagues a.nd M. Pad- sand. They were placed in filthy carriages with drawn blinds, and packed with gen- darmes with fixed bayonets. Then they travelled to Vienna, where they were lodged in a third, class, bug-infested u" Sentries with fixed bayonets were placed at the doors of their rooms, which they were not allowed to leave for any reason unless attended by soldiers. On resuming their journey, they were searched to the skin on the Austro-German frontier. The few diplomatic documents they carried were confiscated. In Gennanv they were not takqp to Berlin, but to the island of Ruepen, where they were kept in the un- healthiesfc surroundings under military surveillance for ten days before they were allowed to depart for Sweden.—Press ASSO-I ciation War Special.
