It is a subject that has frequently been dis cussed in the Far Eastern press, the practice. which, since white man came to settle down in these regions of the earth, has been in vogue from Singapore to Vladivostok, of giving credia in stores and hotels and all manner of business establishments, to all sorts of people who choose to ask for it and observe the formality. of signing a little acknowledgment in the shape of a "chil.

LONDON, 6th March. In the discussion on the Navy estimates, Mr. Robertson, Parliamentary Secretary, said that, in the opinion of the Admiralty, the maintenance of the two-Power standard was adequately provided for as regards the latest types of ships, viz., Dreadnoughts and In vincibler.” In the spring of 1909 Britain will have six battleships and three cruisers com-80s under in consequence of too recklessly

British Trade.
"resorting to this" means of obtaining what he has not the ready money to pay for, and then, for a season, there is an outcry against the perpetuation of what is, at best, a most une business-like way of transacting business; but. the unfortunate is lost sight of in the whirl of life; the lesson is forgotten and the public con.

evil is still amongst us.
Just at present, remarks the Shanghai Times editorially, the old outcry against the tyranny of the chit is once more heard in the land, and we find the proprietors of the leading hotels in the Settlement, who have always, pr bably, been the greatest sufferers under the system, inking the lead in a determined movement to abolish it. How 'ar they will be successful in their raiseworthy efforts time alone can show, but meantime the movement, as evincing a disprisition to introduce healthy commercial principles, will have the sympathy of all go d Germany and Persia,

on the subject
The joist announcement by the Astur House and Hotel des Colonies in your Saturday's issue ze the abolition of chits, will be welcomed by the majority of Shanghai residents, Apart from the fact that with the extension of the

The average employee, whose monthly income does not exceed $20 and who, under the system, is enabled to spend what his earnings do not justify, will be less likely fritter away his salary when he knows that payment can do longer be avoided by a stroke of the pen. temptation to spend money when cash pay. no exaggeration to say that the

For many years past the residents of this port, wites Chins Critic, of Tientsi", have had to depend, to a very great extent, upon the Chinese Engineering and Mining Co's supply, for their coat for household and other uses, and the demand for a cheap coal has been preity fi ly met hitherto,

However, now, with the competition of the Japanese product, the caal from the Ching. Ching Mines, and the anthracite from Honao, for which Messrs W Forbes & Co. are thes incal agents, the buying public has been better able to discriminate between the various qua- lities and their tastes have been educaterl up to a higher standard, so that there is now an undoubted demand for a better quality of coal, at slightly increased rates.
A large number of invited guests, reports the Shanghai Times of 4th inst, embarked at the Peking and Foochow Road Jetties at 2.45 pm. on Saturday, for the purpose of proceeding to the Pooting works of the hanghai Dock and Engineering Co., Ltd, to wanes the launch ing of the new twin screw steamer Kinn, which trim little vessel has been built to the order of the China Navig tinn Co, Ltd, who intend to use her in their loyang Lake trade which, of late years, has greatly increased. Among the guests' present were to be seen the lending There is no greater joy for the newly employed never been able to put their best screened and members of: the various shipping companiet, youth than to be able to enter one of the lead-peed coal upon the local market, because of insurance companies, banks, Customs, cic, ang hirtels and dish away his signature at the its higher price, have now decided to send bere large number of the fair sex, in charnsing foot of a chit, without thinking whether there pootbly quantities of their very best picked and dresses adding greatly to the brilliancy of the will be money to redeem it at the end of the screened lump coal; which they will be pre. sceno.

Several lines, were then lakes out to the tug Valeas, which tried -to tow the vessel off, but after three lines had been broken, the attempt was given up for the day. The cause of the vessel's striking was the freezing of the tallow with, which the ways were greased. When it was seen' that the vessel could not be launched an adjournment was made to the offices of the Company where refreshme..ts of all kinds were nerved with a hi erat hand, and the hope was expressed that the next sitempt to launch the vessel would be more successful. The guests then began to make this way towards the waiting launches and a return was made to the Shanghai,side, where the majority of the guests were landed before 5.p.m The follow ing is a description of the new vessel:-
