AWAKENING OF CHINA..
A Peking Exhibition.
A correspondent writing to, the China Timer on Dec.. 1, from, Peking says:-The now national exhibition hall which was oponed last Monday in Peking has passed oson the most sanguine expectations of its promoters. The building has been daily erowded with Chinese of all classes, but especially of the higher official class who have came to study the products and the potential producing capacity of their country, and with foreignere interested in noting the advance which China is making toward the manufacture of goods comunon- ly known as "foreign." That any of the articles which heretofore have been clawed a foreign" and which have been the basis of much of the importa into China in the past, are now being nado in this country and by native initiative, native capital and native labour, i one of the must obvious as well as one of the most interesting lessons which the exhibition has to teach. Machinery which up to the present has had to be imported from Europe or from the United Stated is now sent up from the nativa machine shops of Hu Pei for the inspection of cloth manufactures of the capital. Rilos from the native arserials, mado with a teclinical skill and finish comparable with, if not yet equal to, the best products of the West, and a hundred and ons other results of the recent economic awakening of the Empire, which needed only to be brought before the eyes of the foreignete as well as the Chinese to call forth the admiration of bath, are receiving their jnst -share of appreciative cominent,
P

It has been in the process of con. struction for over a year, under the supervision of the Board of Commerce, the promoters of the plan to establish in the capital a place where the industrial products of the people could be brought to the attention of a new market. A nominal charge of two cents is made for admission. The Hall is open to the public daily, be, tween 10 a.. and 4 p.m. except on Mon- days, when it is open during the same
