Looking back at the opening remarks in our first report in the year just past it is impossible. to miss seeing the endeavour thats was then to view the position of the trade in the most favourable fight, it was obvious to every one that the trade had been overdone, and it was merely by a succaction of unexpected, but tas Variably lucky circamstances, that the hope of all interested in this wore constantly bunyad up. It was, for instance, haver for a mo- ment anticipated that transactions with the United States would dwindle down to a mere fraction of what they were the

The year which clases to-day wili tong baya membered as one of the worst in the history of the import trade it bean with somewhat brighter prospects than characterised the clos. ing months of 1906, but the more cheerful feel- ing was shortlived and"as spring advanced it became apparent that a long and weary period of depression, which-unfortunately still con- tinues, was in store for the trade! This depres sion is partly the result of overtrading in 1995, when an enormour business was done, many of the contracts having to bi placed for delwery nine and even twelve months ahead; a considerable portion of these purchases arrived at a time when demand had died

away and they brought about an unwieldy accumulation of stock, which has been in pro cess of liquidation throughout this year. The liquidation has been retarded by direct ship: ments from the producing mare's to tho Northern ports, which formerly drew the 'great balk of their supplies from bere-direct abip ments from Japap to Manchuria, Chibli and Shan-tung, and from Europe, America and India mainly to Tientsing the transference of trade was facilitated by Importeis in the North, who delivered goods on credit, whilst cash on. delivery is the custom of the trade here. A portion at any rate of the business done in the. North has proved to have been artificially stimulated by the freedom with which credit has been given; probably a large proportion of the trade would not have been done at all but for the financial Jucilities offer. ed.
