In one of their recent circulars. Messrs. Samuel Montagu & Co mentioned that in their opinion Chins produce woulck... bẹ distinctly in favour this year, but going" on the sumption of Europe's inability to purchase her usual supplies and the fact that America has apparently outran the amount of money at disposal for com mercial enterprise, people have failed to see reason for this optimism, To add weight to their views there has been a drop in prices of ecrtain commodities at Home recently.
In view of the fact that such opinions have been beard, we have secured, says our Shanghai contemporary, the view of an experienced merchant, who, it is satisfac- tory to pote, has a more optimistio out look on the state of affairs...
SHORTAGE OF ACCOMMODATION. Recently orders from abroad have ceased, to some extent by reason of the fact that storage accommodation at Home is no longer available. Merchants order ed large quantities of goods last year in the anticipation that the Central Euro- pean countries would be in a position to take them up as there were large orders from Germany and elsewhere, and in this way China produce is believed to have been overbought. Within the past two months the depreciation in currencies has been accentuated, and on top of this has come the revolutionary movement in Ger- many which has paralysed trade in that quarter. Lonsequently the imports have remained in warehouses in the principal European ports, and recently freight: carriers have been held up for lengthy periode in harbour through sheer mability to find accommodation for their cargoes.
As one outcome of this, we hear of besivy losses aizstained by a Chinese exporter, of, egg products who during last year bad made handsome proste. Owing to the present state of affairs these have been turned into a loss, but it is believed that the Chinese banks are showing their con- fidence in the future by financing him. At the same time news comes from Home of a fall in prices of reveral commodities, dus to the
that merchants fact are at length trying to get rid of some Up to this of the accumulated stock. point it is believed that syndicates in the Home markets had purposely kept these goods out of consumption in order to maintain the level of prices. A
Now, however, that prices have receded in certain lines, the opinion is hazarded that this will have the effect of bringing a large proportion of the stocka into industrial use. The drop in price may remain for some time, but as soon as the

It was not alone from China that C. WARREN & Co., Ltd,
Europe was overbought last year, but likewise from Japan and India. But in the opinion given us the deadening effect. of this state of affairs is wearing off, as is evidenced by the fact that during the past few days more inquiry has been apparent from England, France and America. This suggeste that in spite of the depreciation of the franc France is once more able to do a certain amount of business, while the renewed inquiry, from England indicates that Germany has somewhat recovered from her rescat con vulsion and is able to take up some of tha. cargoes which had been ordered by her through English merchants."
It this view is correct it indicates a renewed, power of financing consignments of goods on the part of Europe, in which case the stocks at print held will rapidly disappear. It is interesting, in this con- nexion, to note the opinion of one silk man who states that he would not be sur prised to see the silk business start at any moment now,
