THE TRADE. 



By John D. Hamlyn. 



Just a few remarks on the Magazine which 

 ha.s now entered on the fifth year of its existence. 

 Sixty-four members have been enrolled up to the 

 time of go : ng to press. Will all old subscribers 

 send on their subscriptions, so that I can an- 

 nounce that the century has been reached with 

 the July number? 



According to information just received from 

 Antwerp the Okapi is not expected to arrive be- 

 fore the end of July. 



Outside information states that it died coming 

 down the Congo to port of shipment. I trust, 

 however, this is only rumour. 



Tht arrivals the past month have been very 

 small, only a young Hyaena, 1 Monkeys, 1 Mala- 

 bar Squirrel, 1 female Hamadrias Baboon, 20 

 Herons, 20 Cormorants, and 1 White Shoveller. 

 The latter has a few black feathers in the wings; 

 otherwise it is a very fair white specimen. It is 

 the only White Shoveller alive in Great Britain 

 to-day. 



From all parts — New York, Calcutta and 

 South Africa — my collectors advise great delay in 

 shipments. 



The various Companies state that cargo 

 space is reserved for foodstuffs and special mer- 

 chandise. It is only on slow cargo steamers 

 that shipments can be made, and then only when 

 opportunity offers. This naturally entails great 

 delay. I trust my clients will make every allow- 

 ance for non-arrivals which is entirely due to 

 shipping troubles. 



The following stocks have been paid for in 

 advance, and should certainly arrive this month : 



20 Penguins, 12 Chacmas, 4 Stanley 

 Cranes, 4 Vervets, 100 American Snakes, 

 24 Canadian Tree Porcupines, 4 Ele- 

 phants, 2 Tigers, 1 Black Leopard, 200 

 Monkeys, 20 Pythons, and a quantity of 

 Indian Birds. 



My clients may rest assured that every effort 

 is being made to open up trade. I am, however, 

 entirely in the hands of the various Shipping Com- 

 panies who promise better treatment when times 

 revert to normal conditions. 



To those requiring Ants Eggs I wish to 

 state I have received the first consignment to ar- 

 rive for four years. They are in splendid con- 

 dition, and commanding a ready sale.
