TRADE-MARK IN CHINA

According to the deak, the Kanegefuchi Spinning Company has discovered that Chinese cotton yaro merchants at Shanghai, in con. junction with Chinese Spioning Companies, have been making much money by imitating its trade-mark. Fearing that any formal protest might bring about troubio similar to that caused by the Tatru Maru affair, the Japanese Company is making effons through some foreigners at Shanghai to put a stop to tha imitation. The Chinese Commercial Minister is a friend of Mr. Bulo, the Managing Director of the Konerafuchi Compasy, and fully sym- pathises with the latter: is therefore be lieved that the imitation will be stopped with out much difficulty.
