An event of common occerrence to China has Just happened in K'wanch'tag-iza, one of our chief centres of commerce. A correspondent describes it thus
A state of things which has been threatening here for a long time-more than a month-has taken place at last, that is, the merchants and traders of K'wanch'êng-Isù, have closed their hongs to business in order to resist the new axation upon all classes of goods entering the city. I bave just been down town to have a it look ser. Every shop in the whole city is closed; crowds of people are on the streets and áhout the yamees, armed patrols are at the principal crossings, and the temper of the people is such as would make it extremely perilous to open the chapel. The suspension of business is very complete; not a cart large or small visible. It is a sight of a Wellme; the people say that it is upwards of 30 years since anything like I happened. How long it may last no one can say some predlet only a few days, some il after the Chinese New Year. They say that if the Provincial authorities are successiul in Imposing this tax, it will treble the taxation of
the city,"
What a power of comblestion the Chinese have I am sorry there is a great deal of dia. tress throughout Manchuria this winter. Grala and fuel are very dear. In some districts the transport of grain to other places is strictly prohibited, and I heard of one magistrate who commanded the grain merchants to lower their pices. Porridge kitchens have been established In a number of places, but what are they , among so many ?" And now when 'the heavy now has fallen it it is impossible for the poor to go out and gather fuel.

CONCLUDING NOTES.
To the early seventies may be traced the genesis of the tea-steamers, which rapidly multiplied into a large and costly fleet, increasing year by year as the facilities of the Suez Canni became realised. ··
|
One of the earliest of the steam ten lines was the Castle line of Messrs. Thomas Skinner & Co., of (lasgow, a firm which displayed remarkable enterprise in this direction. They bad already number of very fine_boxts 'running between London and China, when they conceived the ides of reviving the tea race by constructing very much swifter bosts than yet existed in any ocean trade. Thus they had designed and built on the Clyde the famous Stirling Castle-a__beauiful and costly vessel, got op regardless of expense-which was to beat the record, and secure the preference of the early tens at the topmost freights. She was certainly a very swift steamer, and made wonderful pairsges, but her beart was too large for ber hody, and the throbbing of her mighty engines almost shook her to pieces. Some Improvements were afterwards made on her, and Although she remained for a time the fastest boat in the China trade, her coal consumption was so encrmans that the never paid, and she was taken out of the trade.
Meanwhilethe Glen line, established by another Glasgow firm, but almost from the first, as now, managed by Mesura. Macgregor, Gow & Co., of London, had bren rapidly growing, and there were soon more "Glens Than Castles" on the China Seas. The Glen line became fest favourite with the tea shippers, for withough the boats were not as swift as the Stirling Castle, they were from the first of high power and splendid equipment, and with every new Accession they went on growing in,

of the tricks of "manipulating" market. One effet of feecing the tea-grower, however, has baen to spoil the quality of his product, and Chinese merchants have been for the last twenty years dolg their best to "kill the goose."
They have pretty well killed it already in some of the once tavoured and prosperoon tea-growlog districts, but some other areas have been opened up-notably, Formosa. The tea of Formoss is accounted by Americans, and some others, the finest in the world, and as the outpat of the Beautiel Island is steadily increasing we shall by-and-bye see a direct steam trade between. Formosa and the United States and Europe. As present Formosa tea goes to Amoy and Hong. kong for transhipment. And the tex for American consumption is now for the most part carried to British vessels and pald for through British bankern.
|
Another effect which has been wrought on China of late years, by the introduction of steam, is the change in the balance of commer- cial life. The great rich inland cities which in olden times monopolised the trade and wealth of the country are steadily going to decay-even Feking is not half the size it was a century ago

"Here's one more," he went on as he studled the names. "Charley Poor and Harriet Home. There's a good d-al in that, possibly," and he began to grind the machine, and ranout this:

It is in, that direction that we must look for a new trade, a new fleet of steamers of new dealge, to make up for the declles otherwise in the commercial attractions of Far Cathay.
|
A word in conclusion as to the later history of some of the famous old clippers, of which one is so reluctant to lose sight. We are indebted to an American correspondent who has gathered faformation about the fate of several of them.
The Obaros, ex-auxiliary steamer, mentioned in out last, is now in existence as a full-rigged sailing-abip engaged for the most part is the North Americantrade. The famous Thermopyla was transferred from the tea-race to_the "Aus. trallan trade under Mesins. George Thompson & Ca's dig. Two years ago aha made the run out from London to Anjer In seventy-two days, and, after discharging at Hongkong, went on to San Francisco, Latterly she has been running on ice-charters between China and Japan and British Columbia,
When the Australian trade developed after the opening of the gold-fields—as we shall see In the next branch of our inquiry-many of the tex-clippers were loaded outwards for Australia, and remained permanently in that trade, Some o' them ran cot Australia only to fill up the time until the tea cargoes would be ready to lead homewards, and went on to Shanghai in ballast before the New South Wales coalfields
