Already a fale trade to coarse bar soap has been established with Chinese retall dealers, and as the supply of tallow is plentiful, labour is cheap, and Hongkong is a free port, Mr. Abraham expressed the opinion that soap should be made bere at least 15 per cent. cheaper than at Shanghal or any of the Treaty Ports north of the Colony. Asked, what he thought of the prospects of the soap trade with Chloese which Mesira Blackhead & Co. are building up, Mr. Abraham said he judged by his knowledge of the trade with Chinese at Shanghai that there must be a very bright fature in store for the shareholders in the Shaukiwan factory, and there could be little doubt that the company would soon have reason to extend their works to meet the demand. This opinion, to our way of thinking, seems perfectly reasonable. There can be no doubt that Messrs. Blackhead & Co. are on the right track, and aro, if anything.
