Probably some of these questions have be
recuțit come especially important in years, owing to the epidemic of pilferage of goods in course of transit, and the siwcessfub efforts made to fight it. One of the most effective ways of reducing the extent of the pilferage evil was found to be the eareful checking of goods as they were received by the responsible authorities at the various - stages transit, with the result that the mate's receipts, and consequently bills of lading, were marked when the goods were found to be in not apparent good order and condition. This was an obvious and proper evarse to adopt, but a diherity ben bankers protested against minking advances on the strength of docu. ments that were not quite clean."

ATTERS OF INDEMNITY.
"To verwm this diffealty merchants i are known frequently to have approach- nd shipowners and to have offered them letters of indemnity. provided the rar riers would give them a 'clean' bill. The effect of such a practice has been that! shipowners have, in effect, accepted goods for transport as being in apparent good order and condition when they were, in fact, not so; and then, shoul the consignes demand payment for dam-- age from the carriers, tar latter were able to recover from the shippers, der the letters of indemnity; the amount of their payments. To many shipowners- indeed, it is to be hoped, to most-parti- cipation in such transactions must be re volting, and it was to put a stop to such' a system that the resolution was approv ed at the International Shipping Confer enco last week. This is clearly a matter in which the best hope of a rrunedy is to be found in the development of a healthy public opinion.

VALUE OF LOCAL KNOWLEDGE.. "So long as there are any shipowners of any nationanty who succumb to the temptation pus in their way by shippers, it will, at times, bo differit for those who cordiaDy dislike the practice tu hold aloof. for competitive reasons. The proper course for all engaged in transport is to
•face tire fucts. The shipowners should en continue to mark, the shipping documents with the goods entrusted to their care are not in apparent good order and condition': and the bankers might, per haps, consider the possibility of adopting a los rigid attitude towards hills so marked. Often local knowledge should nate both harkers and merchants to as the marking of the shipping, docu inents at its true value, and to know that the goods are little, if any, the worse for Siis of "apparent damage nad fully deserve to be financed without trouble. Certainly the real cemedy for the trouble is cot to be found in the proffer or ac coptance of bribes.' in order to smooth the passage of goods. The continuance or extension of such practices could not! fail to lead to a general lowering of the i standard of commercial morality to the disadvantage of international voqueror."
HOW CHINESE BANK CLERKS ARE PAID.
The following paragraph is taken from the Chines Beoufnic Bulleti
When a man enters a native bank in Nanking as an apprentice, he is usually required to make a deposit of $50' as security. The firm provides him with baril and lodging but he receives no wages until the second year." Then he is given 50 10 400 coppers a month as pocket mony (about 200 coppers equal one dollar). The pay for the ordinary cuployé ringes from 8 to $5 a month exclusive of board and lodging. The more iniportant clerks of the firm get 85 to 87 per month when employed in the outer office and 89 to 11 per month when em ployed in the inner offer, all exclusived of board and lodging, which is proxiled by the bank.
