CHINA TO EXPORT MORE. The second part of the Chinoss Government's pollag, designed to facilitate the export of their own tea, is one to which no exception can be taken. it oron deserves the sympathy of British growers, who have bad fanir own discouragements to face, for China has sd to watch the use of its tea in this country, which in 1879 was 126,300,0001, 78 per nt of all gradinity decline to 10,300,00015, ia
1910, sumption. It has had, moreover, to suffer the loss of ite trado with Australasia, captured by British growthis; to see our tea steadily on croaching upon its good businees with North Americs; while now it sees the Russi mer chante, China's best customers, so impressed by the cheapness and character of ear tea that
are taking it to consume at the rate of 60,000,000+ year, in addition to what they use in their factories, and are steadily enlarging- their parcheses in preference to seeking more front Chius.
This is not a position that can be conterapi fed by the Chinoso with indifference, notwithstud- ing the fact that the ten they export is only fraction of what they produce und soll internally, and it is reasonable that reduction of the transit and export dues should be proposed na a njenos of regaining lost customers. There is, how- ever, prospect that China may do this, to some extent, on other grounds. It is possible that India, Ceylon, and Jan together would not be able for the present to meet aur considerable increase in demand that might laks place from other countries, 'Should such a moveinent omane, as some observers deem preliable, re- course most again be made to China for tea, even by those who would prefer to buy other kinds if they could get them.

This was owing to a speculative movement in China, con nected with the completion of the agreement to be used for the establishment of an Imperial onrrency. For more than a year a huge amount, varying between £2,500,000 anil £4,000,000, been in the bands of Indico hes speculators; the quotation now stands below which this silver the average price at was acquired, and the operators are out of pocket a year's interest at a high rate.
