Dealing with this question, the Afanchester Guardian, after quoting from the North China Herald, says the difficulty seen by the Hongkong Committee in the way the proposed change was the proximity of the island to China.

exchange, which has, of course, necessitated higher prices in China for Indian yarns or com pelled the Indian producers to accept lower rupee prices But there are reasons for think ing that the difficulty is proving temporary so far as this branch of Indian trade is concerned, and that adjustments are in progress, India's competitor in the yarn trade in the China markets, Japan, is also on the gold basis of exporter to values, and therefore as silver-using countries such as China she is handicapred precisely as India is. On the other hand, Japan has the advantage of liberal imperis of excellent raw cotton from China, cheapened by the fall of exchange, which has coincided with an abundant crop of indi- genous colton in China. Of course, under the circumstances, the raw cotton of China com- petes with Indian raw cotton in the Japan mar- ket, and thus hits the Indian cotton planter: but the falling off in the Japanese demand for the Indian staple at least tends to secure an abundant and cheap supply of the raw material for the Bombay and Bengal mills. It is there. fort conceivable that Hongkong and 4ingapore might manage to carry on their trade, as India ard Japan do, on a gold basis. The commer- cil and industrial interests of both places might however, suffer seriously through a Contraction of the currency and a stringent money market if gold were adopted, and the stability of both the Indian and Japan ex- changes might be endangered by the addi. tional demand for the yellow metal, Committee of the Hongkong Chamber arrived at a decision against the gold standard in '97, and the Conimittee of the same Chamber is apparently of the same mind to-day. But the pu lic generally in Hongking--and, it is added, probably a majority of the members of the Chamber of Commerce-do not agree with the Committee's decision. The position, it is tred, is now much worse than it was in 1897;
