Our China Trade.
Ne1C York Times.

Our commerce with China, as recently
summarized by a Western statistician,
presents some striking and instructive
features. The writer in question finds
that America imported from China dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1881. goods
of various kinds valued at $22, 317. 799,
exclusive of those sent from Hong Kong,
and of this amount 80 per cent. or $1S,-
All, 442, were admitted to the country
free of duty. OF the imports received
from China SIT, 40, 900 were shipped in
foreign vessels and S.. 146 900 carried in
American bottoms. OF the goods ex.
empt from duty there were received tea
to the amount of $11 939 476, raw silk
to the amount of Sc. 015, 1859. hides and
skins to the amount of $40. 4S3,
coffee to the amount of $118, 139,
and chemicals and medicines to
the amount of $101 .255. Duties were
straw, on 693 412 of opium, on 1923, 154
of rice, on $40, 993 of brown sugar, on
$170,5 14 of manufactured silk, on $751;
spices We exported to China during
the same period S., 447 ,281 worth of
goods, being a ratio of from / to Al as
cotton exports were s., 624, 236, of which
50 1876. 5O7 were cOlored cotton and
81, 428, 729 uncolored. The other exports
were 1854, 1893 of illuminating oils,
$171, 1854 of cartridges and fuses, $50, 101
of clocks and time piece fixtures, $36, 32S
of wheat flour, and $2O,599 of per-
fumery. Besides these there were also
sent to Hong Kong by American ex-
porte S, 81, 000, 900 worth of -four, $780,
600 worth of quicksilver and $500, 900 of
ginseng, these not being subject to the
Chinese treaty provisions, however. as
Hong Kong is British colony. The
rapid development of the cotton export
trade is cited as one of the most striking
features of our trade with the Chinese.
1t has increased 1929, 9O4 in a single
year, as is shown by the figures, which
give the total exports in 1880 as 1884, 1892,
and those in 1881 as So. 624 1886. In this
connection the Chicago Tribune says:
"It will be noticed that the United States
imposes a duty equal to AL per cent. ad
valorem on unbleached cottons and 90
per cent. ad valorem on printed and
colored cottons for the protection of |
home manufactures, though the latter
are at the same time able to sell So, $780,
900 of their products IN China in open
competition with British manufactu-
rers."

TAKING IN SAIL.-Several consign-
ments of English steel rail, recently ar
rived at New York. it is understood
have gone into warehouse, the railway
corporations on whose account they were
imported not being prepared to utilize
them. This means a judicious taking
in sail" In other words, these corpora
tons have been unable to market their
bonds with sufficient freedom to enable
them to push construction, and, what is
more, the price of their securities as are
already marketed have experienced so
serious shrinkage during the past three
months that the ability to borrow is by
no means what it used to be. Aside from
the consignments now going into ware
house, there is reason to believe that
there have bean resales at New York at
a considerable loss from the original
purchasing price. There are further
supplies of steel rails on the way, and
these, no doubt, will also find resting
place, for the present at least, not on the
Western and Southwestern plains, but
under lock and key in the New York
warehouses.

Travel Out of the beaten Track.

As n rule We concur with Mr.. Labou-
chere in thinking the ook-making tourist
a nuisance; for the man who comes home from

ton that his observations will instruct his
countrymen commonly convinces the reader
that he left his brains behind him. If it strikes
us that the notes Of travel published by Mr.. s..
s. Cox undor the title Of Orient SuibeamS belong
to the small category Of "reminiscences worth
publishing, this is because the author diverged
widely from the highways followed by the ordi-
nary sightseer. or course his book. which is q
stout one. is not all equally commend
able on this score. and there are GER
tain chapters. such as those which deal
with Constantnople and the Nile land. which
cannot be said to add much to our stock OF in
formation. On tho other hand tho more emu
meration of less familiar scenes described by
MIR. Cox will indicate that good deal OF nov
