As regards the largo trade centres such as Shanghai or Hapkow the change will be com- paratively easy and will probably be welcopied, It is when they come to deal with the internal trade and the vested interests of native banks and money-chancers, who batten on the present system, that the formidable difficulties will The Imperial Decres doulares that the atan. dard shall" to operarile" besilver. This would soom to imply that it is contemplated at some fataro time to introduce a gold standard. In deed an earlier Decros, of Oct. 5, 1908, laid down that after standardising the silver currency China should then carefully proceed to take inensures for further advance with a view to assuring the adoption of a gold standard in the future. For the time being, however, it would scent that the idea has wisely been abandoned. Chins has yet a long way to travel Lefore she can even think of establishing a gold standard.

The ouah consists of a misture of copper with, in some mints, spoltos, and in others load, and ils standard weight, is TL 0.10.
