It was suggested that the Association should offer psixes for information as to the best methods of caring coffee. This question was left for further discession. At the close of the meeting, it was agreed to arrange for the collection of complete coffee caring re- turns.

But all such new developments require the efficient and cordial co-operation of the Govern. Just as to a previous generation the force of the Government was employed to stablish trade at the Tresty-pors and to pro. lect the settlers there, so now the long arm of the Government is required to protect enterprises in the new fields which may be opened, In theory, of course, this is admitted by the GoverR- meat, but there is.rot in ans quarter to be foard cally extended.

(Cries us in commercial ventures in China, Brilhof "No, no.") influence was not then thought to be played out, but only dormant, and needing to be aroused. A different view is now taken by Foreign Powers and by merchants and Suanciers of foreign nailoonilles. They no longer consider
British partnership valuable. They fear it would be a ding and a detriment. They prefer to rely on their own Goverments rather than o y British co-operation. Such is the lesso the present Session of Parliament has taught European observers, who have, perhaps, 'a- clearer insight into our weakness than we have ourselves-Morning Post.
Yet that is not where the shre placber. events have shown, and are showing every day the futility of any mere bistorical treatise to the furtherance of trade. Commerce needs to be helped by more malérial agency nowadayı. While, as evnybody knows, his rivals enjoy the ac.ive support of thete respective Govern ments, the British Inder, both in China and elsewhere, is rather severely bandicapped hy his. The
persons who compile Very those collying Reports which win the approbs tion of the Foreign office, may be themselves the greatest foes to British commerca la the concrete. Under the Consulship of some of them it is a pexistro disadvantage to the trader to be a British subject. It has long been known, and now it is made clear even to the wayfading man, that the system pursued by the British Govorament differs from that of all other Governments. Abstrict prefersions of support, #ccompanied by definite repression of commer clal enterprise, form the substance of our policy, and the £45,000 a year spent on the nominal promotion of our trade in China thus benefits everybody rather than our own countrymen. Mr. Carton's second remark; that our merchants are culpably indifle ent to the Consular Reports, suggests the obvious retort, that it is not to them, but to the Foreign Office itself, that a
