CHINESE IN NEW ZEALAND.

We have received from the Rev. R. E. Chamber, corresponding secretary of the China Baptist Publication Society, a copy of an essay entitled "New Zealand, her Chinese and other Immigrants," read before Canton Missionary Conference on 25th March, 1903, by Rev. George Hunter McNeur, missionary of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. It is a most interesting sketch of New Zealand and her immigrants, and additional charm is furnished by th fact that the writer has been a missionary in China under the auspices of the Canton Villages Mission. In the course of his reinar's on the Chinese in "the Fairer Britain of the Southern Seas," Mr. McNeur says:-

The first party of Chinese inmigrants care To aur Cobay between 1850 and 1860, at tracted from Australia by the discovery of gold. These newcomers soon let their friends at home know of the now gold hills, and for sown years day poured into the country in great numbers The Government became alained at the increase in number of their Celested vinters, and in 1880 sought to restrict thew entrance by imposing a pòll-tax of £10 Thi w.. a secaled check, but in order to

the characteristic incidents of bankruptcy in Turkey when a foreign creditor happens to be a victim, emphasier this advice. Attention must also be paid to the peculiar requirements of the Constantinople market, which are not in all respects met by l'ombay yarn as usually spun. Our yarns, it scenis, are too often spun, and it is complained that some which profess to be an imitation of extra bard yarns are want. ing in strength, probably through faults in the mixing and sizing of cotton. However, there is more than enough in the very suggestive passages which we have quoted from Mr.. Waugh's report to induce Bombay shippers to avail themselves of his offer to assist them with information and advice about the Constanti nople market before they venture upon it.

our Chinese in New Zealand ever suffered fell on them in November of last year. They chartered the steamship Ventus to take back to Chinn the remains of

for their varms will do well in study the report | SECRETARY of the Company from This on the trade of Constantinople in 1902 which has lately been presented to the Foreign Office by Mr. Waugh, the British Vice-Consul in that capital. That Turkey offers an expanding market for the spinners of the coarser qualities of yarn is pla'nly shown in the remarkable increase that has taken place in recent years in the shipment of that class of goods from Italy. Six years ago Italy's exports of yarns to Turkey was valued at £74,000; in 1901 the value bad reached over „£367,000. If Indian shippers could adapt themselves to the peculiar conditions of the Turkish market there is no

reason why they should not gaia an equally large share of the trade. One local firm whom Mr. Waugh quotes in his report states that coarse counts ranging from fours to twelves are in great demand in the Turkish market and that the Levani markets should be a tempt- ing field for the Indian spinners. Thus far the Swadeshi Mills are the only Bombay spinners that have adapted themselves to the Turkish market, and their rates, as obtaining last October, are quoted by a Constanople firm, We are not told how far this enterprising mi adapted itself to the local trade practices, except that it quoted sterling prices, and that the rates included a small commission and brokerage. More, however, might be done, as we are told, if credit were given, as the Italians give it." This, however, may include a good deal that the cautious shipper would rather avoid. We have heard a good deal of the facility with which the pushful Germans have made their way in the markets of South-Eastem Europe, mainly because they have been more accom. modating in the matter of credit than some of their competitors. The Levantine market is one in which it is easy to book orders if you are not particular as to payments. And so we are told that if the lombay shipp wants to get a share of the particular trade he must not insist on cash on arrival, but must be content with Italian methods-that is to say, he must accept first class three to four months trade bills. "I have heard of lines of from 30,000 to 49,000 bundles that could be placed by con tract if the italian terms were adopted," writes one of Mr. Waugh's informant, "We likewise are in a position to establish sub-agencies in Greece and Bulgaria, both yarn consuming countries, or in the other centres of Turkey, such as Smyrna and Salonica. Spinners should state their terms and conditions, and furnish us with overy large supply of cloth and yam samples, by post, if possible."

We may add for the benefit of any Bombay mill-owners who may be disposed to try the Turkish market, that the following very prac tical notification and advice are appended by Mr. Waugh Indian spinners desiring to be placed in communication with reliable. agents here or wishing for further information, may write to this Consulate, where every effort will be made to assist them. It is not advis able to send consignments without good references. The credit given by Italian spinners involves, certain risks and although it appears to be a necessary condition of successful competition in this market it is a matter which requires careful study on the spot and constant watching."
