Hand in hand with the accession of con

Un what this belief is bised or how far it is justified is beyond the province of our con- sideration for the moment; but it should be placed on record as an important factor in the commercial foturn of the country. The cel result is that trade can be said to be looking up" slowly and tentatively at first, as is only natural; but with sufficient steadiness to warrant the hope thit the improvement bas come to tast. It may indeed be mainly a transference of Chinese custom from one set of dealare to another, During the past year it is known that a Japanese firm effected practically | "corner" of the Manchurian market.

“DUSINESS”METHODS,
It is of interest to find that in spite of adverse circumstances ons firm has been able not only to hold its ground, but to be sathfied with the progres it has made. The organiz tion of the British and Americas Tobacco Company now covers the greater part of Man- churia. Its agents are ubiquitous, and with a practical knowledge of the Chinese langurge and Chinese babits have revolutionized the old business methods of dealing with the people of this country. Certainly, the results are suff ciently encouraging to warrant inquiry whether The same system could not be extended with advantage to other businesses. The British and American Tobacco Company acts on, the principle of seeking out, custom or at least of meeting it half way. In Mancharla.
