A large amount of Sydney capital, a J is known, is invested in the pearling industry in Torres Strait, and on the Western coast of Australia. In connection with the subject is the following from a North Borneo exchange : —" The Government is corresponding with more than one of the leading members of the Western Australian pearling industry, who want to bring up a fleet of schooners tonsil on our east coast during the Australian winter months, when the inclemency of the weather • prevents them from leaving the ports of that colony. For the information of those who are interested in the business, we may say that the first comer has been offered the privilege of exporting pearls at half the ordinary export duty (i.e., at 5 instead of 10 p-r cent.) for seven years from the date he stares business. This privilege covers a not exceeding 20 ordinary pearling schooii*crs. Not only the mother-of-pearl shell of very fine quality, but the real pearl oyster also has been found off our Hast Coast; but neither variety is regularly fished—both inhabit deep •water, and none of the natives understand dredging."
