TRADE DIFFICULTIES IN THE INTERIOR,

At first he was given an oscort of foar soldiers and well brosted by the authorities, but in a little time the soldiers were withdrawn and ho himself was called upon to leave. This matter is also the subject of correspondence and inquiry, and it is one the anteome of which will have far-reaching effects on foreign trado in China.

Consul (Mr. Playfair) sent a despatch to the Changsha Taotai, who retorted by calling on Mr. Bennertz to remove his hong signboard from the city within eight days. On referring this demand to the Consul, Mr. Dennertz was advised to comply under protest, which he did by leaving it to the Chinese officials to come

On the 29th of August Mr. Playfair had communicated with the British Commercial Attache at Shanghai, Mr. J. W. Jamieson, who in turn referred the insiter to the Minister at Peking. The reply received was that the British Minister had warned the Bareau of Foreign Affairs at Peking that these regula. tione and restrictions on trade at Changsha wero, in the absence of the assent of the Powers, not binding on British merchants The letter further assured Mr. Bonnerte that. he was fully at liberty to open business pre- misos and display his long-board in the city of Changsha, Mr. Jamieson said he was writing to the Taotai to this effect, and if he, or the Commissioner of Customs, or the police mide any at'ompt to remove the signboard or to seal up the premises, Mr. Bennartz was requested to let him know,

In spite of this strongly worded leilor pre- clamations were subsequently issued by the five Taotais of Changsha, and sealed with three. official seals, to the effect that foreign morahante were not to be allowed to live within or de business in the native city, and calling on the officials to report any foreigners they found so trading to the authorities. Handbills were also distributed to the same effect. Mr. Beumertz reported to Mr. Everard Fraser, who has now returned to his consulate at Iankow, and repre sentations are being made on the subject to the Chinese. The matter is one that affects all foreigners in China, but it is perhaps worth noting that two Germans are residing and trading

in Changsha city, and there seems therefore to be some discrimination exercised by the local magnates.

In connection with this question Mr. Bon- nerts is also testing another point of importance to foreigners. This is the right of foreign employees of Chinese firms to reside in non- treaty ports, or of foreigners to visit their Chinese agents at non-trouty ports. In August he visited the non-treaty port of Changtel there to establish a foreign agency for a Chinese
