LEGAL ADVISER,
H. S. WILKINSON, Esq.
HIS Company has been formed for the
THIS
purpose of carrying on the business of Cotton Spinning and Weaving at Shanghal.
It is intended that the business should at first be confined to spinning, the original equipment for which will be not less than 40,000 Spindles, with Buildings and Machinery, Wearing Machinery will be added afterwards. Sufficient Engine and Boller power for both purposes w!!!
be installed at the outset.
The Company proposes to import the most approved Machinery, to acquire a saltable site, and to erect Mills for the manufacture of Cotton Yarns and Cloths -beat' suited to the China
markets.
As is well koowa the Importation of Machi. nery by Foreigners han Bitherto been officially| 'Abstracted, But Chinesh Hive been allowed to import Machinery under special permits and Cotton Mills 'owned by them have been in suc consinl operation for some years. At present, Mills comprising about 200,000 Spindles are either working or in an advanced stage at this part slone.
Under the recently concluded Treaty between China and Japan, the restriction on the Import. stion of Machinery has been removed, and this field of Industrial enterprise is now open to Foreigners and Chinese alike.
It is confidently believed that there still exists an opening for more Colton Milfs here, and that their product will necessfully compete with and ultimately supplant that brought from abroad. It is evident that, as compared withi Japan, the mach more extensive markets of China may be counted upon to consume a greatly increased product..
The Colton Mills in Japan operate some 90,000 Splodiés, a very large proportion of the output of which labsorbed in that country They draw their supplies of the raw material about equally from Chine and India and the United States. The difference in cost of the raw material grown id' China would favor Mills here as compared with those in Japan to a very considerable extent.
