Chinese Commercial Outlook.-
Although the Chinese Customs receipts for 1918 rer shed a record total, indicating a prosperous condition of frade,
ia common knowledge that the Chinese merchants, In South China at least, have been iesking forward to the end of the financial year with considerable anxiety. We are now within a week of the New Year according to the old style which continues to ta generally observed in Chinese business orioles (not withstanding that officially the Gregorian calendar has been adopted). The absces of any news of impending failures on a large scale afford grounds for- hope that the crisis due to the heavy depreciation in the currency Bates, of the nieghbour- ing Province of Kwangtung may be successfully pasred. Possibly the foreign loan which the Can ton Goverment is reported to bave negotiated will save the situation in Kwargirog, and in bat oare the business failures will be of minor importance. Some are expected to result from Causes other than the deprecia- tion of the currency notes. Tai- lors and importers of cloth have been particularly hard hit by the sudden passing of tho craze among the Chinese for Europ san attire, and we her that there is a likelihood of no fewer than five tailors on the Queen's Road cloe- ing their establishments in the coming week.
