TRADE IN CHINA,
The enbjoined remarks on the position of our trade with Oains are from The Times of Augnan
SEMASA 25th
It is stated that there are 28,000 balas of silk, worth about. £3,000,000, now in looks at Shang- hai, and that trade is a good deal hampered for want of alrer. The foreigu banks there are getting from 15 to 20 percent. for beir advances, or somo 10 per out, above the Jading market raten, and the rates of nation money lenders and "banka are a bigh na 35 per soni. At Foochow the ten-market is practically stopped for want ̈ät fünde ve mettle viik, and avars where in China there is much lack of silver, while the only amount likely to arrive at Shanghai within the mex furtnight is some £350,000, That Busz was, we believe, purchased by an Exeter Bank ata price equivalent to Sa, for thatselin Shang bai, so that the bank will make, as raten, KTE now raliug, a profit of abort per cent on the travenotion. This will give some idom of the singularly detition character with which the Atful and caprisionaly heavy domand of the India Couarril for the men of comittance in- vests the silver market In Indix trade ischoked by glut of bills, wasto in Obina ·business'iz ut a standstill for lack of ailver. What tends to nggravate the situation there is an impending scarcity of famine, which will probably affect a population twice that of Bengal, and seriously interfere with the demand for European.good in China. The more Chinese Suports fall · off, eboald the exports keep up; as, skey at present promise to du, thestronger the demand for stor. Tree, Indian opivin is said to be rising in prios nad to be in augmented demand, owing to the failure of the China puppy, but that can only not as a partial cool to the evident tendency of bridiness, and at proson: the Chine market are starved of apople, with the prospect at con- tinning no for some tima.
