Commerce Of Russia with China.


After the year 1929, the epoch when Peter
the Great concluded the first treaty with China,
the commercial intercourse was conducted by
caravans belonging to the government. 1t was
ut that time sort of monopoly. In 1853
Catharine the First proclaimed freedom of trade.
This second peiod-that OF free trade-was ter
minated in 1900 by the tariff Of Kiachta This
tatif imposed fresh laws upon the commerce. The
Chinese made continual complaints Of the disorders
that prevailed, and the commerce was greatly
shackIed by the customs laws of March, 1900. A
company was then formed to which was committed
the sole commercial intercourse. Chinese caravans
conveyed the silks of Nankin, as well as precious
stones, musk, gold and silver work, &c
The government reserved to itself the rhubarb
trade only, but subsequently renowned it, and
after $500 tea became the great article of COM
merce.
The third commercial period terminated in 1912,
when commerce had acquired regularity and stab-
lily China furnished the merchandise, which Rus
STA could not replace by equivalents elsewhere; and
she was then obliged to have recourse to foreign
countries. Prussia, Poland. and Silesia exported
woollen clothes to kiachta, under the name Of
cloths of Meserits, and the Polish cloths eame
into great requcst The present period commenced
in 1912.
The development Of Russian manufactures led 20
the establishment Of protective duties. The impor-
tation of articles from abroad BY way of kisohta
gradually declined. and was finally replaced by the
nstiOnal manufactures Of Russia.
The superiority Of the Russian cloths over those
OF Meserits. gave them decided preference in the
Chinese markets, Notwithstanding the cheapness Of
the latter.
At the present day the wholesale trade is in the
bands of Muscovy merchants and commercial CON-
panies, while the Siberian tribe Of Burglaetes has
tho retail trade
The wholesale trade takes place only twice
year. and is q complete interchange Of goods, Of
which black tea forms the staple; it cannot DO re-
placed by any other artice it is brought to Kiachta
from the northern provinces Of China. and is very
preferable to that exported from China by the
English and Dutch from the Southern provinces
The green tea is consumed by the Kalmucks Tar
tars, and Siberians. The duty on tea yields an
annual revenue of from twelve to fifteen silver rou-
hles. The Chinese claim this sole advantage from
this important commercial commodity. The Chi
nese will take anything but cloth in return, and
thus the consumers of tea are the persons who are
the cloth manufacturers. The Russians themselves
6eIive no pecuniary advantage from this trade
They might make some profits, and the consumers
pay less for their teas if the trade not mono
polized; and if the tea might be exported f,om st.
Petersburg to Odessa on payment of moderate
duty. the Northern provinces Of China would be
obliged to lower the price of their tea, for which
they have no other market
