Gold .om China,

A fiasocial contemporary has the following pote:

develop

ment of some algnificnoce at thief present time is the arrangement under which the Guaranty Trust Company of New York is import- ing $3,000,000 of gold from Obina, Besides being the first time in history that any American local, booking house has imported gold directly from Chinn, the deal is believed to portend the beginning of a movement for the establish- ment of "dollar exolange" on a broad basis as a direct outcome of the war in Europe.

As a matter

of practice merchants in Ohiba who purchase American products such as cotton and flour usually pay in sterling by drafts draw on. London, Paria, or Berin banke, Since the outbreak of the war, with the consequent distort- ance in the European Money Markets, many business concerus in China and Japan, in common: with merchants in all other parts of the world, havo found it de- sirable to open American banking institutions. With the purchase of large qusu-. tities of merchandieo by Chines merchante a debit balance ins been crested in favour of the Lan don branch of the Trust Ocm-l piny.

Trade conditions in British North Borneo are rapidly getting back to normal, although tho rate of exchange is still high" Trons- priation facilities, which before the outbreak of war were monopo- lised by ore company, now are furnished by o ateamer lines from Singapore and one from Hongkong. The service from with connecting Singapore, European maile, in weekly and the Hongkong.schedule is month. ly. The prices received for native products, such ea crude rubber and tobacco, are very low, bot no failures have been record- ed. In consequence of the war the expertation of rubber has been partly diverted from Europe to the United States. All timbr products still go to Hongkong, where the market is permanent, and steady, Trado Iceally is not suffering, though more or lera depression is noticeable.

The market here depends. entirely an conditions in Singa pore; the city is the great clearing- house for Borrec, a practically all exports except t'mber are seat there and all imports are tran shipped there." "Commercially, Borneo is not much more than a sub-station for Singapore; busi- ness houses here are, for the most part, branches of parent houses lo- cated in Singaporeand ail imperts | come through the parent houses. For that reason there is little inde. pendent buying by Borneo firme. Very few firms in this extensive region order goods independently from manufacturers, Singapore is a free port, and its wholesalers and warehousemen, who buy in large quantities and handle immense stocks, can supply the Borneo trade at very reasonable priced. As a rule prices in Singapore compare favourably with those of London, after adding a small profit and the II cost of transportation. American exporters.would secure a good share of the trade not only of Peraco but of the Malay States and neighbouring islande, more attention should be paid to selecting agents and establishing connections in Singapore.
