Chlon's Export Trade. Mr. Liang Shib-yi is far more practical when he suggests that merchants should to all they can to revive and promote native in- dustries to supply the deficiencies in importe resulting from the dislocation of manufacturing industries in Europe. He points out that the superior and cheaper manufactures of Europe, have practically killed many of the old industries of China; bat now that foreign manufactures have become scarcer aud dearor an exceptional opportunity is pre- sented to the merchants of China to develop the home industries. We are not sure, however, that there is much justification for the cry of scarcity. What is lacking in China is the demand, and unfortunately there is not likely to te sny improvement in the demand for imperts until the export trade improves. The Customs statistics which will re- veal the influence of the war in Europe upon the foreign trade of China bave not yet been officially published, but we observe in a Peking paper the statement that the total Customs revenue for the firat nine months of this year fell short of last year's total only by the comparatively insignificant sum of Tls. 448,000,
