Il8 SHOOTING IN CHINA 



On the other hand Shanghai, to say no- 

 thing of some other places, enjoys a full 

 supply of varied yet very cheap game. On 

 the authority of the most influential and 

 largest game dealer in the place, whose 

 figures if they err at all err on the conser- 

 vative side, there were sold in the local 

 markets and shops in 1905 the following 

 quantities of game at the prices placed 

 against them : 



30,000 pheasants at from 60 cents to 

 $1.50 per brace. 



35,000 snipes at from 25 cents to 35 each. 



20,000 wild duck at from 80 cents to 

 $1.00 per couple. 



10,000 teal at from 15 cents to 30 each. 



2,000 wild geese at from 60 cents to 



80 each. 

 3,000 woodcocks at from 70 cents to 



$1.00 each. 



3,000 hares at from 40 cents to 60 each. 

 500 wild turkeys at from $1.00 to 



$1.10 each. 



40,000 quail at from 16 cents to 20 each. 

 2,500 deer at from $1.50 to $2.00
