disc, since the value If goods imported
and exgrled under FreDcn colurs reaches
t~enty-oDe million dollars. COMPARED
with the work performed by English ve.-
seis, this amount is altogether out of pro-
portion to the number and capacity Of
the ships.
We learn the somewhat curious fac.
that Denmark, while it takes but little
part in the transactions OF China with
Europe, is credited with large share Of
the cOasting trade of the Middle Empire.
After Denmark comes Spain, the latter
owing, doubtless, a certain prominence in
Chinese waters to her possession of the
Philippines. Next figures the Scandi.
navian kingdom, and then Russia, from
which country, however, potwithstand.
ing its control Of the Amoor river, only
six ships were registered during the year.
Austria sent but one vessel of less than
three hundred tons, while the Belgian
and Italian flags were wholly unrepre-
sented.
For US the point of special interest is
the share Of Chinese commerce acquired
by the United States. Although our YES
sells are outnumbered by the German
ships, yet the amount Of merchandise
conveyed is much greater, ard in this re.
spect we rank next t. England. During
the twelve months we forwarded not less
than $4,000 tons, and brought away con-
sideraDly more. There ia no doubt that
the expansion indicated by these figures
is but partially due to the through traf-
tic, enormous quantities of comes,ibles
having been transported by the Pacific
Mail steamers from Japan t. Shanghai,
and large cargoes of tea and European
wares being shipped from the latter port
which go no further than Yokohama.
The japanese seut under their own flag
some Al vessels, sggregating nearly So
900 tons, and it appears that the Siamese
also maintain thriving trade with China
Finally, we may mention that three Pc
ruviau ships entered Chinese ports during
the year, and were regarded rs the prob.
able precursors of direct aud regular com
munication with the South American con-
tinent.-N. y. Sun.
