Hongkong, now the great distributing centre for all of south-eastern Asia, is the disturbing factor in the Chinese trade statistic. Into WILL BUY A CASE OF this mort the goods of all nations are poured, nor is there in Hongkong that proper cheok upon the business of each nation concerned that goes with a tariff system. Int: Hongkong as a distribating centre, and on the other hand *** into the city as a shipping contre, pass goods for and from Ubina to the amount of $159,560,118 out of a total of $408,482,409 for all China,
of Outside of Hongkong, Japan leads the vations doing business with China, the Japan eso exports and imports mounting in 1904 to- $61,705,639. In this total for Japan is includ- ed exports to and imports from Formicas, which are considerable. It is probable that consider able American and other foreign goods are sold to China by Japan and go in the total of Japanese trade. Next in this list of countries with imports and exports of 850,743,643 outside of Hongkong comes Great Britain, Then comes the United States with $39,335,244 total insports and exports, largely goode going
to the United States.
Tudia has a trade with Chins of $24,224,545. The contingent of Europe of Russia has a total trade of $17,617,833. Rassin has lows thou 35, C0,030, and the greater portion of this is Chinese exports. All these nations send goods to Hongkong. Unquestionably, however, Gront Britain not only sends more goods than any other nation, but she sends a larger proportion to Hongkong than to Chips proper. Indian trade is British trade. The dominance of British shipping is overwhelming. While, therefore, there may be many questions as to details in the course of trade in China, there are a uambor of vory patout and impressive foots which
may be stated without question. And it is these aliout features of foreign trade in China which the Ameriost people at the present time must learn and whose forms they must ap previate - American Asiatic.
A DISOBEDIENT BAILOR, The master of the se. African Monarch summoned Samuel Warner, one of his season, for disobedience on board ship while in the waters of the Colony.
The mastor stated that defendant, who had, been engaged as old give a hand in the
seanoa on the under standing that he stokehold when required, refused to assist trimmers in the stakehold.
Defendant said he did not refuse to do the work but we unable to do so as he was weak.

A JRALOUS HUSBAND. Pestera. Estaban. a Filipino, charged with stabbing his wife with a pan knife and indicting wounds on her head, arm and chest, was found guilty and soutened to fifteen days` hard labour. Jealensy was impated as the motive for the deed.
PROSPECTS OF CHINESE TRADE.
Consul Anderson, of Amoy, reporting on the trade of Clana, poħits out the probability of its increase and bints at the propools of American merchants sud manufacturers participating therain. The report follows:
the
American business men cannot reason as te the future trade of China by its past trade. Nor, indeed, can they reason orsily as to its presont actual tracte possibilities by its presut exports and imports. The total of exports and imports does not measure the total trade of the empire any more than similar figures as imports and exports of the United States represent the real trade of that nation. The vast bulk of the Chinesa trade is with the Chinese in the same manner that the rast halk of American trade is with Americans. The foreign commerce of China is ranch soller proportion to the total trade of the empire thus is the case with
For almost any other pation,
cantaries -fore China was opened to forsign trade .the nation lived thrived, and pro duced, traded, and grew wealthy Gradually foreign influone has been fell. The core of Chinese trade for the Jasst hudred years or more has been visibly influened by the fact that the Chinese found they could sell some of t eir products abroad. In the past hurd of a century the nation has found that it can sell other products than silk and ten to the foreigner, and it has now a lorg list of important exports. And just as soon as Chsna found that it could sell goods it found that it was advantageous to buy foreign goods. Thus the imports have constantly increasel.

Ia The fiscal year ending June 3, 1904, China bought goods from the United States to the value of $12,882,209. In the year. 1994 Chion. exported raw cotton to the value of $17,308,114, which is greater by a third in vaine than its total imports from the United States. America exports to China for the year 1904 wers about one-tenth of 1 percart. of China's total imports. The total export aud import trade of the United States in 1994 was $2,451,939,163. With a population of 30,000,000 in round numbers this is a per capita foreign trade of about $31. The total exports and imports of China during the same your were $408482,400 which, with a population of over 400,000,000, rivo: a per capita foreign trade of about 1. When, there fore, tba per cipita of foreign trade in Chins becomes one-fifth of that of the United State the foreign trade of China will equal that of its American neighbour.
