The crafty grain dealers of Shansi made enor- mous profits out of the poor sufferers, some of whom, having no money to buy the precious cereals, sold or gave in exchange their children in barter. For instance, a child of 6 was worth many hundred cash, and marriageable girls were bartered in exchange for a camel's load of wheat or 4(X) catties. ** A correspondent from North Shansi says that Dr. Stuart reports that near Ningwu Hsien he met seventeen loads of young women and girls on the way to- w...ard the south to be sold. Each load had an average of twentv persons, all from one district. The people of the Kueihua Hsien villages say that out of every three persons two will die before the end of the second month of next year. This year the oat and wheat crops were practically a failure, and the miilet crop was not more than one-half as large as usual." The Chronicle also alludes to fearfully destructive fires and snow storms in Japan and in Canton causing great loss of life. 200 persons perished in Canton — crusihed to death by the immense weight of snow falling on their dwellings and in the streets.
