CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
inactivity, the only redeeming feature in this direction being the manner in which dealers con- tinue to pay for American makes, especially Sheetings. It is difficult to assign any particular | reason for this intense dullness in the Import trade, as it is pretty well-known that the Tientsin dealers have orders in hand, but being of a dis. cretional nature, the Chinaman, as usual, has decided to play his successful game of waiting. Again it is wonderful how events tend to assist him in his tactics and in this instance (we give it for what it is worth) tightness of money is coming to his rosene, as from some quarters we are told that some holders are showing signs of being easier to deal with. Stocks in the interior cannot be excessive, while the exports from Eug. land are reasonable, last fortnight's export being fourteen million yards, and although exceptionally dull at the moment one cannot say that the market it in anything like a hopeless state.
METALS, 22nd Angust.-(From Messrs. Alex Bielfeld
been & Co.'s Report).-There has one failure, and two or three small native firms are reported to be very shaky. Of actual business there has been nothing to report. The principal subject of discussion in Iron circles has been with reference to the refusal of untive buyers to take up caigo on arrival. Here we must say that in many cases at least they have every justification for this refusal. Home people seem to think that anything will be taken delivery of out here, with the consequence that several cargous examined during the week have run from 40 to 50 per cent below the specifications. Home dealers should remember that not only does this cause lo-s to their correspondents here, and bad feeling on the part of Chinese, but it also blooks the way of the other legitimate lines, which in many cases thus b come overstocked.
