As we had occasion to remark the other day, the foreign trade of Ching is virtually conducted on a 21.00 4.75 sterling basis. What Mr. GROSVENOR ys supports that view. At the same time it is open to question whether on the whole sterling affords a more reliable measure of the value of the trade of the country over a long term of years than silver, for owing to the decline in gold priecs an increase in the volume of the trade is consistent with a decline in its value as stated in gold, though the fall in prices has been less marked during "The last few years than it was for some time proviously. On the other hand, silver prices have been rising, so that a statement of the value of the trade in that metal ex aggerates the increase in its. volume. In 1855 the value of the trade was H. Tle. 153,203,729, or £40,000,000, while in 1896 it was H. Tls, 333,671,415, or £55,600,000, the actual increase in the volume, we take it, being less than the silver figures would represent, but more than the gold gures would represent. With the grest increase in the production of gold that is now going on we are probably on the eve of a general increase of gold prices, but that is hardly calculated to improve the position of silver, owing to the adverse infuences, in Lhe shape of currency changce, operating on the fortunes of the white inetal, Our lowest priced Whisky is of excellent.
