Apart from the temporary paraly sing effect which every violent change inevitably produces, the world as a whole will neither gain nog, lose much by tho manipulations of the Yankees. AI the time when many maidents in Hong.. kung, especially officis residents, wore lamenting the low rate of exchange and complaining of the lossas they had nis tained, we pointed out that a great part of the injury they complained of was. more imaginary than roai. Tho fall in the gold value of the dollar, we showed, had bad little effect on the purchasing power of silver in the Uolony and in the Far East generally. Whoren great advance had taken place, sa in house ront, quite other satson

WE invite attention to the following old landed Brande, all of which are ok cellent quality and good value for the monoy. The same being specially selected by our London House, and bought direct from the wore at work.

In the days of the low exchange, the aggrieved official and those in a similar position considered that, however much might be said about the purchasing power of the dular in Hongkong, they were ab- 1.25 doubtedly the losers, when they came to remit Home or to transfer themselves and their accounts to the old country. We contended at the time that the loss, if there was any, was not nearly to serious na was 'imagined. So again we hold that the actual gain by the rise in exchange will be vary small. Indian and Russian wheat, Chiasso and Indian tea and all the exports from silver-using countries will rise in value on the London market. That is to say, the English sovereign will not purchase so many 1.10 or so much of these articles as it used to do. The competition of gold-using countries. may prevent the riso from being exactly 1.25 equivalent to the increased value of silver, Per Case. Per Cabut the differance will not be great. Amu-
