*** TREASURE.?-

The movements of gold nad silver ballion between China, and foreign countries, as repo ted to the Customs, show a net export of gold worth Hk. Tis, 9,410,242 and a net export of silver to the value of Hk. T s. 13,844.654. As this statement of the export of silver might, without explanation, confirm the alarmist reports which have appeared in certain publications that a drain has sat in to meet the payments on account of the Indemnity, it is considered well to print the following table showing how the figures are arrived at. It will be seen that of the Hk, Tls 13.844,654 no less á sum than Hk. Tls, 11,869/353 represen's the balance of exchanges in dollars with Hongkong. The price of dollars throughout the year having been above the parity of silver, it is certain they were not sent abroad from Hong. kong, and are destined to filter back to the mainland. Consequently, taking only the figures for Bar silver and Sy ee, we find there was a net recorded export of IIk. Tls. 1,033,002– only. Considered in connexion with the large imports during 1899, which had no rel tion to foreign commerce but were brought in for the support of military contingents now with drawn, a still larger export would have been without any serious significance. [We have reduced the table to not imports and exports.- ED. D.P.1
