COREAN TRADE AND CUSTOMS.
Despatches have been received at the Foreign Cface from IF.M. Minister at Seoul, ecntaining particu'urs respecting the foreign trade and Customs revenue of Corea during the last five years, from which the following information has been extracted by the Board of Trade
Journal
The trade figures for lost year are the highest on record, and show a very marked improve ment on these of any previous years. A country which has attained a foreign trade of Bearly 3 millions sterling, and has nearly doubled its trade during the last five years, can no longer, as it enoa wes, be considered a urgligiblo quantity from the commercial paînt of view, nor is the British share in that trade sa inconsiderable factor.
There was no amendment put forward, The CHAIRMAN accordingly moved the resolu tion as follows:-"' That the Company be wound Hughes and Arthur Rylands Lowo he and voluntarily and that William Korfoot they are hereby appointed liquilators for the purpose of such winding up.
Mr. MURRAY BAIN-Well, gentlemen. I bogg to second that proposition, not with pleasure but with regret, aul I think on passing the resolution we might fairly thank the directors and the staff for all they have done for as in the past, (Applause.)
Mr. Houan--I hag to support Mr. Murray Bain's remarks with regard to tendering our best thanks to the directors and staff of this
concern.
The CHAIRMAN--I beg to thank you very much for the remarky which lase fallon from Mr. Bain and Mr. Hough. I am sure we have out the views of the shareholders. That has done all that we could to ascertain and carry been our one purpose in the matter.
On being put to the meeting the resolution was carried unanimously.
This was all the business.
A confirmatory meeting will be held of which notice will be given by advertisement.
TRADE.
The import frație, în which the United Kingdom is principally interested, rose from Chief£1,382,351 in 1902 to £1,859,-75 in 1903. Of this the import of cotton goeds, about half of which are of British origin, represented a sum of £590,000 as against £546,000 in the preced- ing year, showing an increase of 144,000. The Customs returns do not differentiate in all cases between British and other imports, but the reports from the various Commisdouers of Customs at the ports all convey the impression that, ja site of the severe competition of their Japanese rivals, Mangkaster goods continue to HAVE YOU TRIED hold their own in the Coreau markets.
