HOW TO TRADE IN CHINA. Those who talk lightly and write carelessly about British trade with China do not realise its importance, observes a home trade paper Mr. Jamieson, the British Commercial Attaché, enables them to do so in an excellent survey of the general extent ard conditions of the China trade which has just been issued by the Foreign Office Hithertos we have been depen dent for information concerning the China
trade on the detailed reports of Consuls at the various ports. Mr. Jamieson presents us with a bird's-eye view of the trade of the whole Chinese Empire. The value of the total foreign trade for 190! is estimated at £62,986,935, and that of the United Kingdom and the British possessions with China at £41,563,62", an advance on the amount of the previous year of £289,820 The imports amount to 79 per cent. of the whole. Di ect imports from the United Kingdom were worth £6 100,000, but Ilongkong sent in merchandise valued at £17,798,250, India £1.282,500, and other possessions of os contributed to the import values by £802,700. According to the official Chinese returns, the British proportion of the trade was 566 per cent. of the whole in 1896, and last year o ly 5103 per cent. But, as Mr. Januson pints out, there are several reasons for doubting the accuracy of these figures. As _compared_wish_the British_imports, those from The United States and the Continent of Europe have increased to a very much larger degree, Thus in. 1896'tive merchandise sent to China by the United States was,v-lued at £2,000,000 only. Last year it was worth £3,476,000. The Continent of Europe exported mer- chandise to China in 1896 valued £1 $72,000. Last year the value advanced to £2,521,500. Though the British Empire still enjoys more than half the foreign tinde 'of] China the figues show that other nations' arei.creasing their trade largely; ours has been dec'ining though, not to a very alarming extent. In spite of the accumulation of the national debl of the Chinese Empire the import trade has in creased by over, 19 per cent. since 1895. It 'seems obvious that most of the increase was distributed amongst our competito.s in the Chinese markets.

A leading firm in Shanghai some months ago established showroom in which types of machinery ata set up, with a small engine to drive them, if the customer wishes to see the wheels actually goround. The results hre said to have been beyond expectation, and the example would be well worth following There is at the pre sent moment a Bill, before the Senate of the United States providing for the erection and maintenance in Shanghai of a building to be used as a permanent exposition of American manufactures and raw materials, and the pro position is receiving very cordial support. The total cost is not to exceed 275,oo dollars, and it is anticipated that the undenaking will pay for itself. While doubting if these expectations will be at once realised, it must be conceded that the idea is an excellent one. By every mail importers receive samples of goods which it is thought will suit the focal market, but the clientèle thus
a
reached is necessarily limited one, where's a permanent exposi- tion would come prominently before the public, and would most likely prove n reat attraction to intending purchasers. Thee are many articles of European origin which have an established reputation in China. but there would seem still to be good openings for lamps and bardware. Mr. Jamieson does not believe that can he extended by official in- fluence. He believes in individual effort of the merchant. He advises those who think China) would be a remunerative market for their goods to, in the first instance, make up their minds to defray for six months the expense of a special expert agent to study local conditions of trade on the spot, which might be 700 or £8.0 He pertinently observes that so many things, to tempt the fancy of the native, are imported by Those anxious to push trade that the obvious propriety of endeavouring to supply what the native has long been in the habit of using would appear to hav been overlooked. And he asks: Has any attempt ever been made to discover whether or not it would be profitable to manu- facture by machinery hats or shoe uppers for the millions of China? The wealthier classes; as elsewhere, go to their own particular hatier or shoemaker, and the native, of each province in addition affects certain peculiarities in the matter of hats and shoes, but there must be a large proportion of the population to poor to isdulge in fads of this kind, who would readily buy the foreign made article could it be laid down more cheaply than the home made one
THE LYNCH TRIAL.
CHARGE OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE,
Mr. Jamieson is to be sincerely thanked for the many suggestians which he offers as the result of his examination of the trade conditions He endorses the of the Celestial Empire. general consular view that the British merchant should plac: himself in direct communication with his customers by speaking to them in their own language. Acknowled;ing the use fulness of the classes for the study of the Chi- nese language which have been formed in England, he advises the heads of firms, in the China' trade to give their young nuo facilities as it suggested itself to any one to imitate for learning the Linguage in China itself. Chinese table accessories, spoons, wine cups, There are not so many difficulties ipjhe acquisi- saucers, and chop-sticks in electro plate, or to tion of colloquial Chinese or have been exag-devise an efficient and acceptable substitute for gerated, and a knowledge of Cantonese is not the long ribbon which confines the foot of the essential except in very rare instances, The Chi ese trouser-made and female.

Chinese that almost all European banks and mercantile houses in China conduct their business without having in their employment one single white man capable of checking in the slightest degree-bé" it even to the extent of reading simple numerals documents submitted by native shroffs, concerning transactions running into thousands of pounds. That this should have been possible in the past may be used an arguiment against the present proposition, but the conditions of trade in China are changing radically. It is there fore Imperative for the British merchant to adapt himself to this new state of things, and to place himself in a posi ion efficiently to grapple with the problems of the fo ure. The gradual opening up of the 'interior, too, to which all look forward to anxiously, will necessitate the training of a staff of young men who will be able to protect their emplayers' interest in place where Euglish is not known, and where to trust to the average English-not present, speaking Chinese interpreter would, in nine cases out of ten, be disastrous. Wherever the policy advocated by Mr. Jameson has been tried in China it has succeeded, and he gives as an illustration the experience of two large British trading associations who have employed Chinese speaking agents to travel about the country. The fact that a demand has arisen for the services of ex consular officers is another striking evidence in its favour, and it stands to reason that a knowledge of the language implies a more intimate knowledge of their ways of thinking and their requirements Judicious advertising is always advised, and
the advertisement should be illustrated. The European desiring to trade in China is just as abyssmally ignorant of the country as John Chin man is alleged to be of the ways of the West,
!!
As an instance of the astounding st itements one occasionally meets regarding China may be cited a letter, signed by an East India merchant, which appeared in a trade journal, and with every appearance of authority informs the readers of the publication that a large proportion of the needles imported by the Chinesa are employed as ornaments for decorating the tomb of their ancestors,"
An extended field of distribution for machi nery appears to be opening up. Flour and rice mills are, at the large centres, superceding native methods for treating rice and wheat There seems an inclination to adopt foreign presses for dealing with bean products and extracting vegetable oils. Numerous inquiries are being, made after engines to assist in parious kinds of local manufacture on a knall scale, and there are many other indications of a recognition of the sup tionty of wachinery over manual processes. It may be as well, how ever, to state beforehand that it will prove of little use to address to His Majesty's repres

The Lord Chief Justice, in the course of his very impressive charge, said that, as a grand jury, they were summoned for a most unusual object. It was, he thought, sixty-two | years since a grand jury had to deal with a charge of high treason. The bill of the indict ment which would be presented to them charged the offence of high treason against Arthur Alfred Lynch-charged him with the highest crime known to the law. It would not be necessary for him to point out to them at great length, so far as the facts were concerned, the particulars of the charge, but inasmuch as this was an unusual occasion and the
