In the interests of the the China- trado it bull been very often und sickeningly frequently urged that the Chinese Government should isno regulations, that the Braks should not speculate, in the min- nor they have and to a certain - extent are still doing at present," Things are only relatively good or bad. Speculation carried to within.) certain limits is essential for the overy existence of trado and 'bo- | yond that it is ruinous to trade. The forward, transactions which the Tantsi me bomied in his de- finition of speculation relating to gold bars, cotton and exchango are vitally necessary, and for ono thing, are the rulo in other parts of the world. It is the man who takes, risk that wins in trade, as in other affairs, Speculation is reprehensible when it is puroly a game of chance as, in the ense of the rubber gamble, where there was no chanco of using one's skill in any manner. The for, ward transactions that take placo in overy-day trade are based upon a number of well-bised calcult- tions as to the futuro trend of the market, whereia chance plays only a minor part. Even in banking a certain amount of speculation' is necessary if the bank is to make great profits and improve its business; what the limit can be can only be required by long training and knowledge of the local conditions. To for mulate a categorical rule, as the Thotaj las done, shows that the Chinese official has little know- Jodge of the essentials of trade. What is needed now is certain regulations to keep tradul speculation within healthy limits." Sueli regulations all parts of the civilized world, and China will do well to copy them in so far as general principlesure concerned, adapting them to local conditions and needs. It is certain that the body of foreign traders will give ovory help they can to the Chinese authorities. It would have been noticed. recently that the Stock Exchange will minimise the evils of share speculation by the now regulationswhich it issued recent- ly, and the existence of such
· regulations during the past your. would Irivo averted a good deal of the disaster. If the Chinese
