DEFICIENCIES.
These are days of kcon compoti tion between the commercial interests of the world. Inter- national rivalry in business has indeed, reached such a point that
Special Monthly Rates. [902 it may almost be said to have be- cone-n-fine-art. Hongkong scarcely needs to bo reminded of this, for here, ceoupying a posi tion at thio gateway of the Chinese Empire, we are, from actual ex- perianco, se conscious of the trend of events in this particular direc tion as the people of other great tradal centres in other parts of tho universe. Competition is all around us; it can almost be felt in the air; nobody can afford to un dor-estimato it,much less to ignore it. The peculiarities of our posi» tion, the cosmopolitan charnotor of the trade of the Colony and the equal fight which business mon of all nationalities are waging on o level footing all tend to make Hongkong something of a little world to itself. Here we can carefully observe how commercial" rivalry is carried on, what methods are employed in its pursuit, and what aro' the char acteristics of the business men of the different countrios engaged in the struggle. Though, as we huvo said, there is hero an ab. solutely oport market for all and: Bundry who wish to make the Colony the base of trade operations, and though all are welcomed irrespective of nationality, _yot naturally our groatast solicitude is for the success of British industry.
