MORE COMPETITION. FOR PIECE-GOODS IN- PORTERS.

Nanking weavers have recently turned out a new kind of silk called chung than chou, named after Dr. Sun Yat Sen. It is an in proved kind of the ning chou, made in imitation of light woollens, the object being to recommend the new fabric to the public for making dress suits in substitution for im- ported woollens. The new fabric differs from other silks in that: (1)

renovated by dyeing, (2) it does not crumple as easily as other silks, and (3) it produces no rustling sound when the wearer moves. The fabric can be either plain, fignared, or do signed as imported woollens.

The material is produced with superior raw silk; the warp being pre- pared from good raw silk produced at Siashih, Chekiang province, and the woot from raw silk produced at Hankikiao, south of Nanking, both obtained at a price about 10 for 13 per cent, higher than ordinary raw lk. The thread for warp is produced by doubling two or three silk yarns of the best quality. The cost of production is higher than that of ordinery gilks..
