Writing on the foreign trade of China Don't Worry: Sir Alexander Hosie says: The restrio-
tions placed on the output of the now copper coins by the provincial mints during 1906 had the natural effect, and these coins have recently recovered a fair percentage of their valge vis-à-vis silver. When the

market at Shanghai they exchanged at 88 to the Mexican dollar, then worth 880 of the old 1-cash pieces; in July, 1906, Mexican dollar was worth 112, while at the end of the year its buying capacity was only 104. What is still wanted, however, in addition to a continuanos of these rostrictive measures, in the establishment of a fixed relationship between these coins and some uniform silver standard which has not yet been devised. Chies's difficulties AJ, ABU 6th Edition, Western Union in this respect are but little understood, Foreign exchange is but one factor in the trado of the Empire. The tack one speaks

about so glibly is not a coin mor is it uniform in weight, touch or value, and in carrying on trade between one end of China and the other as many as 10different exchange transactions may have to be effected. Had each province its own tael of a fixed value there would be some gleam of Hght, but it has many kinds of taels, and even in one part of a province thero may half a dozen or more taels of
different values current stue by side. Peking, for example, las seven and Tien- tyin nine different tacks all equally current, This lack of uniformity is a great drag on trade, whether foreign or natire, but it is a source of profit to the thousands of nativo exehatige banks scattered throughout the Empire which may be relied upon to resist to the last any innovation likely to curtail their gains.
