Amoy Bulb Supply Captured.

Amoy, China.—The Pacific Mali steamer Mongolia, carried away from this port 280 tons of Amoy narcissus bulbs tor the American markets. This shipment was notable as the first of its kind. The bulbs are produced in a small area on the West River, and the annual supply is limited. There has been sharp competition lately among foreign bulb dealers to obtain the local supply.
