trade had proved an entire failure. Dur ing the nine months the port had been opened to trade, gooda toa trifling amount, say a few thousand pounds sterling, had been imported in foreign bottoms. We will not trouble our readors with the. details of this very limited trade, but will at once proceed to the more in- tereating subject of the causes of the failure. The Acting Consul is of opinion that the real cause why nothing has been done at the port is the deter mined opposition experienced at the hands of the local merchants. He had been told on good authority, that in the early part of last year, before the.. port was open, a meeting was held by the principal traders, who decided that they had nothing to gain either by the presence of foreigners or by the employ- ment of steamers, and agreed that they would have nothing to do with eithor the one or the other. The merchants, having determined to abstain themselves from the use of steamers, were not likely to look with favour on a direct rivalry

foreigners of goods for sale. Accord ingly, a foreign merchant, who offered various goods at a lower rate than that ruling at the time, experienced the greatest difficulty in finding purchasera. The country buyers, who were not con- cerned in the dotermination of the Pak- Foi merchants, and were tempted by the lowness of the prices, were threatened that those who dealt with foreigners now would find themselves without anyone to deal with when the foreigners were gone, which would be in a year at the furthest. It is a great pity that such contemptible combinations on the part of a few ignorant native merchants should be allowed to stand in the way of the development of the trade of a port, even for a brief period of time. With in
traders of few years these Pakhoi will learn it is as useless for them to set their backs against the steamship trade, as to endeavour to clear their henighted country of foreigners.

in 1876, £8,460,186, there remains a balance against 1877 of £1,815,575, showing a decrease of considerably over 20 per cent, on the trade of 1876. If the teel for 1877 had been taken at the rate of 59. 9d., instead of 6s id, "Ata average rate, the decrease in sterling would have amounted to more than So per cent of the whole trade. The Act ing Consul mentions a report that General Fang, now in command of the new forts at Swatow, had received in- structions to contract without delay for the supply of large quantities of European made machinery, to be used in coal mines in the neighbourhood of Canton. Dr Hance adds that one English firm in Canton had already submitted offers to General Fang, but as the Chinese Em- bassy had evidently been of service in bringing home inanufacturers in direct contact with the native demand, it was probable that the Chinese would not avail themselves of the services of any
