dopreciation in silver does not increase the import trades, as the fall is generally com. peussted by a rise in the local cost, which mesos that the home buyer pays the same price in gold, is the opinion of Willard B. Hull, Vice-Consal-General at Canton.
Stuart. J. Fuller, VicesCootal-Geserat at Hongkong, says he learns from imports of cotton goods that the fall in silver in the last twelve months has not substantially diminished the demand for coiton goods. With regard to ex- ports, he adds, that while the general tendency of a low exchanga was to alimulate exports,
this was more than counteracted during the year by the general financial depression in Europe and America.
That since 1906 the tendency of prices bas been upward, that the depreciation of prices has affected the local importers to a serious extent; on account of being unable to obtain higher prices from the Chinese consumer and that' this depreciation has not stimulated the export frade to the extent expected, is the view-of
