What grounds he gives for these statements we are not told, but probably the chief among them is the nevelty of the project, and possibly the fear that the gold would be quickly drawn out of the Empire. It is to be hoped, however, MERCHANTS. that the Imperial Government will not listen to CHANG CHIKUNG. He is evidently both timid and prejudiced. Why should Ching any more than Japaú be depleted of her gold because she chooses to place her currency on a gold basis?

CONCERNING the important question of currency reform in China, it is, and must continue for some time to be, doubtful whether the scheme for the establisiuuent of a national coinage on a gold basis will be adopted by the Imperial Government at Peking. The EMPRESS TOWAGER is evi- dently in favour of the project, if report amy be trusted. According to recent Peking advices, the Board of Revenue, in obedience to instructions from the Throne, begnu last year to collect and store up gold bars, &c., the intention being that, when a stock of at least one hundred thousand fuels weight of pure gold had been amassed a start with the new coinage should be made, the gold to be used for the purpose of minting gold coins, while silver tael pieces of standard
