off in the production of Indian opium, seems to this fact, taken into consideration with the falling- show that the cultivation of the poppy-plant is attended with greater risks than had been supposed. While there is every reason to assume that the decline in the production of Indian opium is due to local and temporary causes, it is not equally certain that Persian opium will recover as easily from the blight which has fallen upon it this year. In that case the field will be left clear for other competitors; and among those whose attention has been turned to the possibilty of supplying the Chinese market must be men- tioned the Turks, who possess in Asia Minor the original home of the poppy and the place where it has been cultivated with the most successful results. But although Turkish opium maintains its superiority in the pharmacopoeia, it is ex- tremely doubtful whether it is suited for the requirements of the Chinese. The drug they demand is a preparation for smoking, and that is admirably supplied by indian chandse. Chandeo, of course, has been, and will continue to be, imitated ; but as yet the imitations, have proved very inferior to it. It is doubtful whether, the

CONTRACTS IN CHINA.
the following from the report of the Hanover THE Chamber of Commerce Journal quotes Chamber of Commerce: A regular system of official contracts, as in European countries, does not exist in China, and it seems likely that the time is still far distant when such reform will be introduced. There is no proper control exercised by the Central Government; the granting of con- tracts is in the hands of the higher provincial officials. General Governors, Governors, and Tacutais, who make the purchases for their districts, or the State Institutions under their. direction. It is esident that under these circum stances a uniform system of tenders is out of the question.
