New York, June lS.-The Sun says :
Some Of the leading deal rs in arms
and ammunition here, who have en-
,yed large trade with foreign gov
ernments, have just found new Gus
toner. China, in view Of her uns,t-
i d relations with France and her dis
Put, with Japan, thinks she has imme-
date occasion to re-rquip her army,
aud the Chinese government is looking
to America rs quick source fr
which to draw her war supplies.
Within the past SIX weeks several large
orders for improved rifiss and for vast
supplies OF ammunition have been dis
srlbuted here among at least four manu-
FIGURING camranies by agel of China
" Tho recently arrived in this cnuut y.
l. il apparently the desire ii the
Chinese government t, keep the matter
quiet, a. the manufacturers / war ma
terials here decline t. make known
their Chinese Contracts, but it is stat I'd
on good authority taat about 5000
stands Of arms each Of which in.
cudes, brsides the musket, the bsyo-
n, t, cartridse-box and .t,er scco'npa.
niments of the gun-have already been
shipped, and that other large orders are
about ready for shipment The firms
which have these contracts in hand in
clude large est 10 ishment in Hon, N
Y, another in Hartford and smother
whose headquarters are on Broadway.
The most Of the arms and munitions
that are now on their way to China
were shipped By the overland route to
San Francisco, whence they will be for
warded as rapidly as possibly t, China.
The orders now preparing sl,o include
a large supply Of liked ammunit on.
One trm has within the past three
weeks shipped 20OO cases of cartridges
to China, and two firms have large
orders for ammunition that will keep
them busy for many months.
The arms and ammunition trade in
this country is delighted It the impetu
that the patronage of the Chinese gov
ernmelt has suddenly gwen to their in
dusty. Since the bostilities between
Peru and Chlls pract cally erased there
mas been a great falling of in the foreign
demand for American Munitions of war
The stsgnation in trade has n t be. II 30
great tor years as it was last Winter
aud some large firms fail d. The trade
cannot expect to do much if shy busi
ness with France, as that country has
immense facltes for turning out
own war supplies, but it is said tia t
some Aneric m companies have recently
sen: agent. t Japan to demonstrate the
advant ges Of buying arms and ammu
nition IN tlis country when such sup
lies are needed.
