excellent Mr.. Y. l.. Griswold calculated, "The

what pity il does not fear God while George his
brother, was examining the state of the Canton
markets.
This news is Of the highest importance. The
American trade still continued at the iates. dates
They were the principal carriers Of goods up and
down the Canton river. The American ship Valpa-
raiso was doing a great business in the carrying
trade on the river, at the end of November.
The Navigator left Whampoa Nov. 9Th, 1899, and

The evening before the Navigator sailed from
Toon-Koo, letters arrived from Cantoa stating that
the Yum Chac, U.in, the COMMISSIONER was de-
tcrmined TO put stop to the transhippng Of British
property Canton under the flags Of other nations.
as has been hitherto done, and urging the utmost
despatch in loading the vessels taken up for freight
to whampoa, there great danger that they
would be shut out Of the Boguc in week. II wa.
the general opinion that entire stoppage to the
foreign trade would again take place ere long.
After the battle between the Chinese and the Bril-
fish the Bogue, the troops Of the latter went to
Macao, and took away all the British residents
The Chinese Admiral had died Of his wounds. The
Commissioner, Lin, had sent express 10 Picking,

procuring the orders Of the Emperor for future ope-
ration.
tCorr,.gond-uee Of The Hsraid1
LrSrIS, Ga Tos Koo, Nov -, 1899
All the British, Dutch, and American shipping are
here, having been driven away Hong Kong, by the
repeated attacks from the Chinese batteries.
A spirit of speculation is on foot at Canton, for
cotton and other foreign produces many Chinese are
buying argely in 9o-ton and India produce, which
compels Us TO believe that all trade will be stopt
n few days.
Great preparations making by the Chinese, for
a grand atiact upon the fleet, and IL they can mus
ter courage enough 10 bring their Ere ships among
the shipping hire, they will make great havoc.
tprescut the trade is going on, in the hands ofthe
Americans, fast as the numerous distractions
thrown in the way by the Chinese will allow, and
for the most part IL is an excellent business for all
parties concerned High prices obtained in
Canton, which gives profit on the goods, besides
paying the exhorbitant rate offreights to Whampoa
The American ships are doing a splendid business,
several of them are about making recond trip and
two now on the third. Several Of the large En-
glish ships are purchased by Americans. and Others
(not British,) and are now loading for whampoa I
fear the suspicious 81 the Chinese will be excited by
these ships entering and stopPage of I'll trade may
grow cut Of IL. Thus far, suppose Linn TO be in
the dark. as 10 the real state Of the trade.
