Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury | HONGKONG CICAB STORE LTD. replied, I have your letter of January sih. 1924, enclosing a copy of a resolu tion adopted by the American Association of North China. I assure you that it will be carefully considered."

On the same subject, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of Ameri c. wrote: "It may interest you to know that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States is committed by a referen shum vote of its membership to the follow. I ing propsition: American citizens resi. den: abroad should be exempted from American taxes, upon income derived abroad, not remitted to the United States? We have urged this taxation policy es Congres, and it was part of the pro- gramme which officers of this Chamber called to the attention of President Coolidge,

This is not the sort of proposal, that finds favour with Congress and others in public life without explanation. It is a proposal to make a favourable exception of our class of American tax payers, and such a proposal shad me with opposi tion unless it can be clearly shown that there are sufficient reasons for advocating a factor in promot course. As a a special con ing American foreign trade, and thereby in promoting the general welfare of the United States, we believe such a course can properly be adrested. Recently the Seermary of Commeren has been strong in his advocacy of this view of taxes applic able to Americans in business abroad."

HONGKONG IMPORT TRADE.

The following notes are taken from the fortnightly circular of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce:-7

Cotton Picco Goods and Fancy Cotton Goods-The position as a whole fa un ohanged, but in sympathy with the slight decline in Cotton, Manchester prines have eased off a little; in conjunction with the improved exchange, this has enabled some transactions to be put through, mostly fancies and miscellaneous goods, Balk buying is still a long way off; eleaZ- ances continue to be satisfactory, and the market should, be in receptive state as soon as prices can be brought more into line.

Cotton Yarn.-There is no change is the state of our market and the business done has been. infinitesimal. Prices are slightly easier.
