MANNER Of Carrying trade with China.
Tbe following interesting explanation of the man.
e conducting trade with the Chinese nation is
DEL y in DR.. Aliens recent publication upon the opium
rp William Sturgis esq.,, of Boston, whose experience
,ho China trade, though not in opium, extends back
% tban half century, in a lecture delivered not
no' since before the Boston Mercantile Library AS
ODh lion. stated that in 1848, 100000 in specie
'carried from the United States to China TO pay
var importations from that country but now most
Fl OHr purchases are paid by bills of exchange on
Land. from the proceeds of the opium trade. This
W nav serve to explain the in which trade
pnrried on with China Formerly, the exports OF
ono 10 $780, European nations and the United States
'ss obliged 10 ship every year large quantities OF
.ce TO China in payment for silks, tea, and other
Gerhandlse.
But the opium trade taking the place of all use
Il articles OF manufacture, or any other production
LEASED to such extent that soon after 1890, the
,"I,nce of trade was turned against China Conse
onfIy the balance of trade in the regular exchange
commodities must be paid in specie, and is just sc
cb drain on the bullion of China. DR.. Williams
es that from 1885 to $780, il averaged yearly more
,5sn sl5 900, OO0 which would amount in this pero
~ 5000 600, 900 1t is true, however, that all TIT
Soinm sold in China, amounting TO more than $40,
6oO 900 annually, is paid for in SPECIE but then on
r. about one-thiri OF it actually leaves that country
The balance is taken 10 brokers at Canton or Hon;
Kong, and are converted into what are termed L" bill
n exchange" which are used in China by merchant
n paymen for teas, silks, and other commodities
These bills of exchange frequently brought to In
din. and also 10 England, and are used in London
liverpool, and other cities in the way OF trade Il
