the Chinaman which we read of th books dealing with Chinese traits of character. Were it an isolated case we might feel lass justification in kicking the fragments of the shattered idel. But Moura Alex. Bielfeld and Co. perform that deli cate operation known to our American friends as rubbing it in, when they state that another factor in the already long list of causes of harassment against which the merchant has to contand is the action of the Obiness, many of whom during the past week have rejected the cargo ordered by thom. This still further surves to dia- hearten the already sadly hampered im- 1484 portor, and many of them are looking into the future through very dark glassos.' There is reason for the Messrs Bielfeld's gloomy forebodings. Kooner competition
