· RIVAL TRADING METHODS.

CREDIT SYSTEM IN SHANGHAI, The Tokia Foreign Department has received the following telegram Irom the Japanese Commercial Agent at Shanghai.:-The new method of selling on credit now in vogue amongst German merchants provides fora guar. antee of payment. According to the standing pul up as security, they sell merchandise to Chinese on credit, even to the amount of 50,000 Laels pr. 105,000 taels, receiving payment on the expiration of the term fixed. If the term is three months, they settle the account at the end of the said three months, If merchandise representing a ̈value of 50,000 pels should bave been dealt with to the extent of 30,000 tuels, they agter into another contract on the same system to cover the remaining 20,000 taels worth of merchandise. Thanks to these cop- ventences Chinese merchants prefer to deal in whatever of stufit, however small it German marchandise if they see any chance may be, and do all they cap to forter this credit system. It is therefore gature! that German merchandise should be suc cessful in developing the China maiker, While the German merchants adopt this method

the sugar also imports a large quality of sugar from Java, Philippines, Hongkong, China, and a little from Germany, and these imports would, of course, be the fitas io suffer. But it is as yet far from certain that this will be the case, for it in equally possible that in the courte of time Forniora also will, either directly or indirectly, go to other markets to compete. At present Formosa makes only No. 15/16 sugar for the Japanese refineries, batt is by no means im- parsible that, when Japanese demands had been fully mol, the factories would prepate also sugar above No. 20 for the Chinese market. It is equally possible that the Japanese reficeries might, beyond the needs of their own country, refiue raw sugar for competition with Hong kong sugar in the Yangtze Valloy.
