THE DISPUTE IN THS TEA TRADE ON CALUUTTA!--
AT SHANGHAI,')
The N. C. Daily News of the 18th inst, anya: On the mail day before last, when, merchauts were busy with their correspondenco and had no time to spare, some teamana, representing the Tes Guild, wat round with a letter which they some what peremptorily required those foreigners who doal in their article to sign. As might have boon expected, almost all refused. One or two of the scaller Buyers did, wo understand, affix their signatures to the documens. Most of the others refused, on the sensible grond that they had then no time to consider a demand, in an impactant matter, thus sprang upon them. What the. Tes Guild asked in this high-landed fashion was chat the godown hoopera of foreign marchants should give a mosipt for all teas, delivarad into the go- downs, azating the quantity and the chop, so that the receipt might bộ prodused, should it be nesos.
Now it will be obvious to overy one that it would highly dangerous to give a godownuAT the power to fix a liability of this kind on in employers. Many objections to this will suggest themselves to randers, and we need not discuss tom, or the effect which such a proviso might hare The next demand was that foreign mer chants should provide, at their own expenas, fire İnanzato on a tacs delivered into their go- downs, so that the Chiness owners would be uotared from lona as soon as to teas were re- quivel into the godórus and until delivery of thea, whether weighed and noapte or not.

Now, as regards Le question of fire insurance under sao diremmetsbeen as the Guild mention, we beliure there is a considerable, we might, we suppose, say a goneral inclination among foreign merchants to some to an understanding with the testen. It was not because foreigners thought 'the demands of the Tea Guild were so unreason- ble that they would, not diseases them, that they refused to sign the letter. It was the manner in which the document was presented, inappropriateness of the day on which the demand for their algastered was made, that caused what is virtually the whole foreign to trade of Simoghại to refuse jo sign. Had the foreigners been scad to color with the native teamen on the subject there is no reason to doubt that some mutually satisfactory agrement would fave been como to.

Bat the Chinese to-men are flushed with the handsome prilits which they made in Hankow this season and convoite thoruselves to be strong enough to make the foreigner do what they want. Indeed they made no seoret of this con- fidence, anying that they were now abla to do what they plansed and to make, foreigners como to their terms. They also boasted that already two or theon or four foreign buyers had sigheit or agreed to sign the letter. Those foreignars who did so would be of no cousequence under ordinary ciremastances, But- tiroir action at the pressat time he mails the Chinese onluds that others will soon follow the example. Foreigners gesstally having refused to sign the letter, then and tiera 2 summary stoppage was put to all busi-,Į. ness. Teas in somn onaan, that were bag nogoti ated for, and for which freight had been arranged. wore withdown, the Guld having refused to allow them to be sent into the intending pur- chasers' godowns. For a week, at the height of the shipping season, not a single wristor of tem has been to foreign merchants. That which the Chinees demanded—even taking it to be réssonsbla-involved a considerable change in the trolo, unatoms of the port, and, as tba Chinese know very well, was unt likely to be devided off- hand and on a meil day of all days. This will be seen from a comparison of the Chinese domand with what has hitherts bean, we believe, the uni- versal practico among merchants Up to now the take which were notepted or the weigh- masters were covered from are inmrance by the foreigners; refasted toas were at the risk of the Chinese-fox of course they did not belong tó the forsign. This was a reasonable arrangement, but it the Chinese desired any change in it, the way in which to bring that about was not. the stand and deliver fashion which the Guild adopted. Every foreign tee boyer would have. met the Chinese in a fair spirit. The Chamber of Commerce at the mooting last week admitted that there was some need of an agreement. For instance, some policies of insurance apocially exempt tass that have been rejected, though most do not, and the latter would cover the Chi- ness owner from loss, the Esas being in teast of the foreigner, But alors under such circam-
Baiphong stances might rais a doubtfit question, and it Bohuno would be desirable to have the whole subject of ina fire insurance on such goods placed the plainest, footing. But it is quite another thing when the Tes Quild treats foreign merchants in a meat cavalier fastion, puta sa end to trade for a time, and boasts and swaggars because they are in the novel position of having stres a rome mousy in their pockets and have got three or four foreigners to submit to them.
