HANKOW VANISHED TEA TRADE.
CAUSE OF TRE PRESENT STAGNATION.
-
Never in the history of the China tea) trade have conditions been sa·sløplor, ald for the foreign ten houses as in thi last few years. states the Meistrul Chine Post, The reason is not far to seek.
Since the Shanghai foreign ten houses do not consider it necessary to send their representatives to the only and proper place to buy tra, via, Haitkow, three to Four big Chinesa tga bongs, which up to a few years ago did only broker business, have become, merchants as well. They by teas over, send them to Shanghai, demand several taels profit and thus make the market.

Samples of all tens arriving in Hankow are sent to Ali Shanghai tea houses, and As offers aro telegraph Flanker, the Chinese hongs, knowing the intentions of the Shanghai houses, operate on their own account, and Shanghai is left in the Jurgh. This year's 1924-3 erop has suffer. ed terribly from the heavy April-May rains, and comparatively small quantities of useful teas are to be found. As soon as Shanghai offers arrive the aforesaid three or four big tea hongs buy them over and the foreign tra houses, have to pay. a pront to be able togel them.
Everything points to the necessity ut having only ong, market for black teas in China and that can only be Hankow, even the Kinklang tras ought to be brought to Hankow. as it used to be done for over at least 60 years." As long as state of affairs lasts the once famous tea trade is dpened.

The formation is announced by the Sydney, lierald of a company known as Eastern Traders, Ltd.. á project. which might prove to net in some measure as a counter-effect to the rejection by the British Government of the Economic Con- ference decisions.

Eastern Traders, Ltd., "ha a nominal capital of £1,000,000. of which it is in-f tended to hold £500,000 in reserve. Ther company intends to control its own-hip ping. with Sourabaya. Batavia, Singa pore, Hongkong, and Shanghai, a-the principal distributing ports in the Enst. Timber is greatly required in Australia to-day, "particularly softwoods. Frem the selling of the timber it is intended to pay cash for the goods taken from Australia, and similarly cash will be paid for the goods obtained in the East: This would climinate, to a large extent, the exchange problem; the investor would get cash instead of a credit note for goods, cheap freight rates. the use of a great marketing organization, and participation in the profits derived from timber. The public has not yet been in- vited to subscribe to the capital of the company, but the intentions of the direc tors at present are to concentrate" on
the organization of the primary and secou dary industries which might be concern- ed. In Victoria, Australian Manufactur ers, Ltil. which for some years, has car- ries on an increasing table with the Fast, has been taken over by Eastern Traders, Ltd., and the concern is also interessed in over 40 manufacturing in- dustries in that State, including the Western District Butter Co. The work is now being pushed ahead in New South Wales. The company intends that when the organization gets going, it will have a vissel in Australian waters once every fortnight.

The Day of the Knight is Here !
IT IS THE
WILLYS KNIGHT
Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.
It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of "any car
in the market.
-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six
unnecessary.
The Knight motor is steam principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with re-tangular slots or ports which when they register with each other and the ports in the block allow the inges and eg as of the gases without obstruction. These wide open paskagam, particularly the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every ounce of energy available is utilized from the explosive mixture, which gives us such tremendous power
7
2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.
The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great kés: radiating qualities is aand se neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston guts bot enough to bake the redne from the expored gases to foris carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosiva inistars effectively.
3-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.
While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the burnt guses works up behind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder head and, as thir building in process obtains, it keejst pushing this waling ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chambr developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn,
4-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out.
#. All parts in the Willys-Knight car are assembled with wide clearance between each other and oil in forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly in lapping or wearing in on the heavy filme of cil instead of wearing sat. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil Laaring instead of a metal to metal bearing which be necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep it quist with unbuquentijnick wear and noise,
It has eliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylinderud poppet palve mctor. There are no hammering parts such as cams striking against push rods, push rods against valve plants, or valve heads snapping lack into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
