COMMERCIAL NEWS.

TO LIFT AUSTRALIA'S WHEAT.

It has been learned on reliable authority says the Stagopure Free Press that more than 45,000 tons of wheat-representing more than 580,000 bags-will be shipped from Freemantle to ports in the Mediterranean shortly by a fleat of steamers which is now on its way to Australia. It was known last week that certain vessels had been released by the Imperial Government for the transport of foodstuffs from Australia ..to central and south-eastern Europe but more deinite information has since reached the Com monwealth Shipping Board in regard to the transaction. This effort will be the greatest concert-4 ed endeavour made since 1915 to reduce the Australian surplus grain stocks. It is understood that none of the steamers will come further enstthan Freemantle 1 load wheat. They have been hastily diverted from other mportant trades. Among the vessels are freight carriers' be- onging to the British India then agafar Domain and

wo former German steamers.

TRADE-MARES IN CHINA. In view of the large number of Japanese imitations of foreign trade-marks on the China market, iris interesting to note the com- plaints now made in Japan that trade-marks for Japanese exports to China are often violated in that country, and the conclusion that they cannot be effectively pre- vented unless there are regulations controlling trade-marks in China. The Osaka Chamber of Com- merce is accordingly taking steps to memorialise the Government. asking the authorities to ap- proach the Chinese Government! with a request to promulgate a Trade-mark Law. The Osaka Chamber is supported in its proposal by similar institutions in Kyoto, Kobe, and Wakayama. It is added that many instances of Chinese violation of Japanese trade-marks on matches have under the notice of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

OFFICERS.

From the Loudon papers re- ceived to-day we notice that the question of designation to be borne by the Commercial-Intelli. gence

Officers appointed in foreign countries in eonnection with the reorganisation of the Government system of commer- cial intelligence has been under consideration. It is felt that the title of Commercial Attiche is not the most suitable, and that some other designation should be adopted to indicate the in- auguration of a new system. It has "consequently been decided that the designation of these officers should be altered as follows:- Commercial Attache, 1st grade,

to be called Commercial Counsellor of Embassy". Commercial Attache, 2nd grade,

to be called Commercial Secretary of Embassy (1st grade). Commercial Attache, 3rd grade, to be called Commercial Secretary of Embassy (2nd grade).
