Under Clause II. of the Treaty recently con. caded with Great Britain, China agrees to Inks the necessary stops to provide for an miform national asiange, and it is in the falliment of this clius of the treaty (which to be effective must include the absorption of the provincial mins) that we recognise the, preliminary step to the much-needed reforms.

dangers attendant on delay. It is only too well known by traders that the constant factuation of silver, converting ser it may a profitable contract into an ultimate lux, engenders a feeling of insecurity in all commercial transae tions which cannot fall to hinder the expansion
of trade.
