SUGGESTION FROM CHINESE

MERCHANTS.

At the monthly meeting of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce held yesterday, amongst other things, a discussion took place as to the best way of restoring some of the Colony's trade.

The complainant, who gave has age as 88, said that defendant struck him on the chest, causing it to awoll. He said he called the defendant "God of Thundor earth."

An Interesting explanation of the present depression of trade comes from the Chinese Bankers Association. They attribute the standstill to the lack of confidence antongst the merchants themsel-

The Association urges the big ger banks to set the Colony on Its feet again by granting loans against reasonable security and thus remove, as far as possible, the general distrust, and revive business confidence. There is plenty of reserve in all the big banks in the Colony and much good can be done at the moment by circulating it rather then by leaving it tide in the vaults.
