and loss of time in getting their goods.

The advantage is still more obvious to-day in view of the political narest all over Chins and- the great probability of the present troubles in the North spreading to the South, in which case. the mutting industry in the districts around Canton is likely to suffer to such an extent Qat it may take years to recover, matting being entirely dependent upon the labour of the pea sant class when not engaged in their ordinary farm work.

It is proposed to ere

erect a Factory capable of rinning 450 looms, producing about 100,000 rolls per annum, on which it is estimated, at the prices recently obtained in the United States for the Matting sent there for sale, there would be a net profit of at least $1 per roll, or $150,000. In course of time further experience and economics will undoubtedly improve upon tluse figures.

The promoters of this Company have, as before stated, exporimonted with 50 looms, and having acquired from the Kobe Manufacturing Company all the rights to the invention, will transfor the same to the new Company together with 50' looms and other machinery, stock-in- trade, goodwill, &c, for $350,000 (Hongkong earreney), which amount will be taken by the Kobe Manufacturing Company and the pro- moters in shinies.
