“THE TA CHING BANK,
In a recent issue, we published a series of interpellations Ir the National Assembly ra- garding the above corporation. The National Review (Shanghai) now makes the following ra arks ansat the same subject :-)
Mr. Mo Lio, a member of the National Ar- zombly has been asking questions-is-the Assembly which he desires the Board of Finance to answer. The Board of Finance baving been previously questioned as to the coonitution of the Ta Ching Ban't had stated that its constitution was similar to that of the Central Bank of Japan, but Mr. Mo points out that the right to issue bank pates is the exclu- sive right of the Central Bank of Japan, but this is not the case with the Ta Ching Bauk, as the Board of Communications and other Fek- log badina bave also the

LIMITED AMOUNT OF FAPER MONEY, but no limit is stated in the regulations. Mr. "Mo's next question was concerning a vital point. He asked whether the value of the 76ques issued by the a Ching Back was pro
portionate to the Teserve fund. It would ap. pear that a negative answer must be given to ibis question, for the regulations provide that the bank is to pay six per centum on its shares as a first charge out of profits, after which a fifth of its net profits is to go to reserve 50 far the profits have not been large anough to establish a sore va fund of any considerable amount, but this provision is one which will gradually give great foancial strength to the institution.

AMERICAN shipping IN THA FAR BAST
The U.S. Consul General Du Bois at Singa. 2 pore has submitted to the Department of Commerce and Labour, at Washington, the following in regard to the rarity of American merchant vessels at the port of Singapore, whence over $3,000,000, U.S. currency, worth of goods are annually shipped to the United States: "Four years ago the ship Acme came here in ballast for repairs.
Three years ago the ship Ivy came here with salt and departed with lumber. Two years go the Foreign bullt steamer Hanamst araved, ring the American flag. Last year the barken- tins Jos, L. Evison came in ballast ged was" cold. This is the record of American mer. chant ships arriving at Singapore during the w.past four years, and Singapore is the way between the Occident and Orient, and is the 2 85
eighth greatest port in the world.

THE COMPRADORE,
What is a compradora? We turned up the word in the office dictionary and found fi wan not thero, aa, must answer our own question. The compradore it the axle on which the. whole wheel of the foreigner's businors with the Ohinase turns He is the middle man indis pensable in arranging the 'erms of avery trans action. He is the security man who is respon sible that native payments will be dully forth coming, and occasionally the banker who supplies the cash.

The dealers simply will not sell ty him at the same rates as they do to the recognized parchasing agent. It is very absurd, but the fact remales and thus the compradore can do better for his principal than the principal can do for himsall..
