REPORT ON HONGKONG TRADE,

The fortnightly Price Current and Alarket Report issued by the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, gives the following information:

As is well-known, says a Londón piper. China has not paid coupons on German bond issttes, except to itrals or Allies, since she entered the war. Now that Chia and Germany have con- cluded peace, the guration of the future..

Cotton piece goods and fancy cotton of these German issues, which have low goods.-There has been considerable valuations as compared with the London aeqvity in our market during the in securities of the same issues, has been terval, and good sales bave been effected, raised.

Woollens. No business doing; the the various years with the Chinese Gov. market remains unchanged, ernment. There is no distinctive differ-

ence, so far as the original contract is concerned, between the German sections and those issued in England, France, the United States, Belgium, etc. Under the terms of the Pance Treaty between China and Germany, part of the indemnity yable to China will consist of Hukuang and Tientsin-Fukow bonds, but it ap pears that the price at which they will be taken has not yet been fixed. It is suraised, however, that this will

prob ably be in neighbourhood of that for the London portions of these loans, which is approximately 61 for the Hukuang and 69 for the Tientsin-Pakow issues respee tively..

The special prospects for holders of German issues, would appear to depend upon the date of resumption of coupon payments. The German portion not having an official quotation, and from the Stock Exchange po'at of view not being considered a good delivery," it naturally would follow that even after the position between Germany and China is officially legalised, these bonds would command a lower price here than the officially quoted numbers. It is believed that the signing of the Peace Treaty between China and Germany, and more recently still the announcement just made that the Chinese Government has given permission to the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank to reopen its branches in China, point to the fact that a resumption of regular sad normal business relations between the two countries cannot be too long delayed.

Charges that the sale by the. D. S.
