THE TRADE OF CHINA.

He must be a bold man, indeed, who would
venture to estimate narrowly and definitely the
consequences of breaking down those time-ob1
served dogmas of eXclusiyeness which the Chi
nesc adopted for their rule of action. When
the resources of commerce are fairly opened to
a race numbering at least one-fourth of the total
human species--a people Industrious, cumula-
tive, moderately endowed, too, with the repre-
sentatives of wealth-rit is probable that even
the most Sanguine ideas already formed as to
the commercial capabilities of China will be
largely exceeded by the result.
The vast eXpahsiveness of China in respect
of the production of articles. either peculiar to
it altogether, or in which it exceis, is illustra-
ted by the history of silk within the last few
wears Whilst the commerce of China labored
under a monopoly, it was thought to be totally
impossible to increase the quantity OF silk Oh
tanned from that country. The annual export
was 1000 bales, and for $50 years it was thought
to be the utmost that China could supply for eX-
portation. No sooner was the monopoly broken
up, than the 1000 expanded into l0,050. The
The latter quantity subsequently increased to
$4,000 bales While the silk-producing Powers
of Europe remained intact, the Chinese silk
supply already developed more than seven fold,
was thought to have reached its maximum
Mark, however the curious result. Last year,
the quantity of silk exported from China
amounted to the enormous quantity of 94,800
bales, showing that since the year 1910 the sup
PLY had increased forty fold Well might Mr..
Crawford, at a recent meeting of the Geograph-

ical Society observe that in the history of for
eign trades, there is not a moro remarkable fact
than this. Fl -.lt 2"f t#r
1t has been said bv celebrated naturalist
that the physiological and geological condition
of country has more to do with its character,
its liberty, its commerce. than perhaps any other
feature. The physiology of Chihaman is
matter not half SO obvious as the geographical
CONFORMATION of China A single glance at any
map Of China will suffice TO make evident one
reason Of the dense population of that land.
No country on the face Of the earth is watered
by so many noble rivers. In few countries,
however, have the water economies been more
assiduously attended to, by regulating irriga-
tion from main river trunks. and by the CON
struction of canals for purposes of internal
communication. The population on the banks
of the 4ang-tse Kiang alone is estimated to
amount to one hundred millions of souls or,
about three and half times the population of
the United Kingdom and, according 70 the
estimate of Mr.. Consul Aleock, there is
greater trade carriedon between the coasts and
the centre of China, than between all Europe
and the rest of the world = This statement is.

China. In the port of Shanghai there have
been as many as four thousand large junks at
one time. 1t is estimated, and has not been
called in question for the last century, that
from 300,000,000 to 800, 900 900 inhabit that
vast territory. There is larger population

whole, they are commercial and tratficlling

In estimating the probable consequence of
throwing open China to foreign commerce, it |
must be remembered that European articles of
barter can hardly yet have been seen in Cen
trail China, as curiosities. Most of the |
British goods taken to Shanghai are sold to
peddlers, who carry them on their backs. That
merchants on this small scale, performing the
work of beasts of burden, should penetrate far,
it is difficult to imagine. The interior of China
may be regarded as commercial terra iacog-
Rita. The Yang-tse-Kiang is to that interior
what the Mississippi is to North America.
What would the latter be without its steam
boats, and what might not the great Chinese
river become, under the auspices of steam? !
