'the beginning of the year to its close. The

.continuous fall in the value of silver was

- discouraging to the impert trade in general,

and, in the already languid stats of the

market, it played an important part in the history of an unproätable year.

There is no donht that in, the next fow years China will make strides towards the -position-of-an-industrial nation, for which she is destined by virtue of her natural resources and the character of her people, and to this end education as well as official encouragement should be directed. Too much is heard of adulteration, of watered cotton, ainty coal, and dirty wheat; and the splendid tan and silk trades are being -endangered by the retention of grimitive methods of production in the face of a' formidable foreign competition.

The direct foreign trade during the year -given a net value of Pk. Ths. 61,185,881, is compared with Hu. Tls. 683782,066 in 1907; and it consists of Imports to the

*The decrease in the value of importa is. about Bk. Tis. 22,000,000 bas owing to

a general rise in silvor values resulting trom the lower exchange, the real decrease in the volume of imports is much greater than the diference of value would indicate. Entries and elcarminens totalled 207,605- stamers, sailing vessels, and junks,-and the falling off an compared with the figures for 1907, of 10,327, was due to the smaller number of junks fecorded at Mengtsz, ¿Kowloon, and Shanghai.. The total tónange -83;901,999 tons-was, nevertheless, once more the largest on record, showing an in- crease of 2,881,855 tous. At Dairen there was an addition of 1,289,050 tons, and at the Yangtza part ná addition of 2,787,000 tons.
