generally speaking, oven se a buyer, still thern remains ons branon of trade in which his zer- vo have so far proved indispensable, and that isasachipping agent. This has been the genral experience, I think 1 may say, for many years past. With the exception of the China Mer chanta Steamship Company, which is artifically nurtured and encouraged by official protection, the mangement of vessels of foreign type Jus sleality remained in the hands of Europeane. This in the case with those engaged in the const and the river trade as well as with those run- ning to foreign vautrice. Chinese owned steam launches have been running daily for some time part from Shanghai to Soochow, and From Shanghai-to Hengcha Thay day often be seen leaving Shanghs) with as many as ven or eight Chinese housetoste in tow. There is already a large passanger · traitor especially with Soochow, and with greater facili ties it will to certain to increase anoatnously. I see nothing to prevent a foreign owned line of Eght draught steamers being successfully in troduced in the rentes totween the two clos and Shanghai. There will be sa immense deal of cargo to be conveyed as well as passengers; and il it is to some under the control and protection of the foreign custom-house, presumably it will ken to be carried in vessele of a forega type. But what may be possible or profitable will depend very much on the provisions as to navigation to be drawn up by the Chinese and Jajanėse Governmente. Till these bo known one in unable to forecast the fulare. If, for instanice, there bo no change raade with regard to the present rates by which palive goods oro carried from one treaty port toanother in foreign vessels, produce conveyed merely between Shang bai and Boochow or Hangehow will be re quired to pay a full tariff duty and a half. It is plain that undor such circumstances the loenl trale between these places will be moro econo, mically conducted in. janks.. Foreign vessels will only accure transhipment cargo which in coming from, or is destined for, other trekty ports or foreign countries, and has no further daty to pay on reshipment.
This liberation from inland taxes of their distant commerce must prose a grand boon to the two sitios thousaélros. They are great maurafacturing contres drawing raw material from distant parts and exporting their wars to all parts of the empire. Fecap ing the native tranet daty which they now pay both ca the materials that are brought to thom and on the finished products which they said away, they will son their manu facturing busingss increase in a marked degres, - and the opening of the ports, thong done at the bidding of a foreign power, will conduc most of all to the benedi of China herself. A the same time foreign trade will roop some ad- vantage. For as these cities continue to grow in population and wealthy, so will they be able to purchase, and consume larger stores of every kind of foreign manufacture. .
