The thinese newspapers a day or two ago reported a revival of the proposal to start a tin! Post Office Savings Bank at Shanghai. A selfieme was submitted to Lise fovernment last year, but was aba doned on the decision of the Ministry of Communications to, inaugurate the sys tein simultaneously in all the provinces. 1 is now reported that the Shanghai District Postmaster has received a tele- gram from Peking informing him that scheme has been submitted to the Pre- sident, and that upon the expreted sune- tion being given it will be brought into operation by way of trial at Shanghai.
The report is unfortunately incorrect. No such communication, has been re- Patterns, Silk Scarves, Shawls, Mandaria ceived. Ocervically, however, the anti-Coats and all other Kinds of Goods can bu cipations of the Chinese Press are toler. Prom our Store at Very Moderate ably well justified by after events, and the present may be an instance.. Some time ago a number of students were de spatched by the Government to Vienna for the special purpose of studying the savings bank system. Upon their return to Peking, shortly after the revolution, and at a time when official appointments were in great demand, the occasion' was urged as a favourablo cae for the adoption. of the P.0. savings bank system. The matter has been under considerations, and possibly something practical is about to materialize. N.C. Daily News."
