Mach arcertainly 'bas been felt of late as tớ whether the Import and export dulles at the treaty ports of China would be raised. It wan generally believed that Lt Hang Chang did not receive mach encouragement from Lord Salis- bury in regard to the proposal for rafaing the import daty to to per cent. (from $ per cent.), onless a quid pro quo were givan in the shape of abolishing Likin and other internal taxes, &i., on Importaṭions rent beyond the treaty ports. Then came the announcement last June that an Import at ro per cent, was to be placed upon the productions of mills, whether native or foreign, established at the poris. That statement, how ever, seemed to be nalilfied by a commercial treaty which was shortly afterwards concluded & with Japan, under which the Chinese practically placed it out of thele power, for some time to come at any tale, to arrange with the other unifoss cancerned for an increase In the import dalies. However the Shin Pao, of Shangha', recently published a memorial by the Viceroy Chang Chih-tung-who, along with the famous Sheng Tactal, is Interested in Celestial ironworks, zaliway, and textile, &c., develop ments--which throws much light upon the maf- ter of China's change of front anent the duties. The Vicera begi that for the present no Increased duty a pliced on machinery and manofactured goodi imported by Chinese com- panies. notwithstanding that on the Emperor consenting, in June last, in the proposal for a to per cent day, nine regulations on the sub- ject, drawn up by Sir Robert Hart, were commu nicated to the treaty consuls by the leery and superintendents of trade at Tientsin and Nanking.

In consequence of this "admirable arrangement," other provlaces were gradumily establishing factories too.
