The British Conial at Hanków raskes the fol- lowing blyntvations regarding the obstacles to trade expansion:
* In provious reports the res? deficiencies of the apparently far-reaching water communications of this central port have been pointed out-the great difference between high and low water levels on the Yangtee, the Haz, and Hunan Rivers, the frregularity of their rise and fall, and the constant shifting of their na Tigable channels, to which above Tchang must be added the perils of the rapide. Of the railway that are designed to give access to
not a sad has yet been turned. Everyone seems agreed that the waterways cannot be made suf- ficient, while the only remedy for rapid and reef hitbarto suggested by foreign experts is blasting and dredging them, sway 20- medy that to the lay mind appears likely to accentuate the effects of both freshets and droughts. The problem being to maintain an oven depth of water throughout the year and to minimise such iliksteru as the wholesale destruction of the native craft caused in April by failure to give warning of a esdden freshet from the upper couren of the Han, the solution can hardly be found in schemes to clear away the satual barriers that check the onset of froshabs and tend to keep some reaches navigable. The Yangtze gorges at any of barrages with locks and automatic sluice rate would seem well adapted to a systom gates, and the cost should be small pared with the proposed railway at right angles to a series of mountain chains. The
Ha above Fanch'eug is probably equally suitable for such a system, which, although the river's lower course may present few sites for looks, might well in course of time remove the existing obstenotions to navigation caused by moving quicksands, and the same remarks apply. to the Siang River between the Tungting Lako and Changalas. The development of local industries in the three cities of Haskow, Hasyang, and Washang alackened in 1908, more than one of the new factories having to shut down and several becoming bankrupt. Yet there was no lack of frosh schemes to competo with alien imports and so to check draining away of China'
's wealth, which all einases, educated or unodusated, firmly believe to be the result of international trade, just as they are convinsed that the rise in prices which culminated re- cently in a financial panic in most of the lead. ing porte is entirely due to the burden of the Horor indemnity. This sutagonism towards foreign trade is likely to develop with the pro- grem of constitutional government' as the local representative councils will be filled with the loudest advocates of Chins for the Chinese" and the raise for membership expressly exolade. native teachers and graduates of missions and missionary collages. It should never be for-
gotten that the outspoken policy of the native
Pross is to recover the rights of which the foreign treaties have, in their opinion, robbed China, to abolish extra-territoriality and the alien managment of Customs and postal ser. vices, to rerise the tariff so as to lighten export duties to penalise faraign imports for the encouragement of home industries, and to establish naval and military forcas in order to defy all outside interference This policy is held enthusiastically by the studenta
trained in Japan and the teachers in the new schools; it is preached in the public lecture halls maintained by the provincial governments in their chief cities, and it has the approval of the semi-official Chambers of Com. merce, which in this region at least are growing rapidly in induence and power, and to which the local amicials more and more delegate the settle, ment of mercantile cases and trade disputes. The fancial orisis of the situmu gave the death blow to the comfortable theory of the good faith of Chinese dealers and compradores. Whether it bathat the multiplication of foreigns hong not always well capitalised his led to a lower stamp of men being employed as compradores, or that the wider spread of information has taught the native dealer to put his own immediate interest first, the fact remains that nowadays the Chinese dealer shows little scruple in soek ing excuses for evading contracts when the market goes against him, while the compradore no longer feels any obligation to communicate to his employer information detrimental to his own interests. In addition the compradors at today falnis expert advice on the terms of his engagement so as to ensure that, there is no- undue risk or obligation cast upon him, while the dealer, with the aid of his guild and of his acquaintance with erchange and foreign mar kote, drives the hardest possible bargain, and in rarely found willing to meet losses,
AUIGE
So long as Chinero banks can inane notes 'to un- imited smonats, and their accounts are subject to no audit, and so long as the above custom of lending their credit obtains, it will remain necessary for foreign firms to hara compradores well-secured and directly responsible for the failure of native banks and dealers to meet their obligations. And so long as any foraigners do not insist on being safeguarded, so long will healthy trade development be sndangered. In Hankow the Japanese, relying on their racial advantages, have carried dealing and personal pushing of wars in the country districts to an extent beyond the power of any other foreigners, and they have even entered into competition with the native petty traders and peddlers, but it is open to question whether the results have been at all commensurate with their exertions."

At the outlet I had to fight persistent and abstipate attacks, but since then I have had no trouble whatever. The main thing is to take the Syrup, Immediately indigestion Is suspected, One dose is then ample. If unchecked, more doses are réjúlred. I keep a bottle of the Syrup always at hand, sad consequently indiges tion now has no terrors for me.” Walter de Welford, 61; Mans. ^{ Sfield Road, Kford, Essex.
