A Knowledge of Chinese.

One of the most valuable saseti in trading with the Chinese is, in the opinion of many, a knowledge of the Chineus language. The Germans knew its value and pro- Eted thereby to the extent that they became serious competitors, îna remirkably short time in a field which had been almost exclusively British. Now that the Germans are out of business and that the Brite ish are evincing a determination to ones them for all time, the growing necenity of becoming scquainted with the language of the customer in these parta can- [not be too strongly arged. In this connection we welcome meat beartily the example set by the British Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, which last week in- augurated a school for the study of the Chinees language. The meeting was highly soccessful and, needless to say, the proMO... sers af the school look to the future with great hope.
