trade in the far East. This conditions of af
fairs is douby disastrous at the present time,
when ocean freight are dull and many fine YES
sells are tied up to rust at the wharves for lack
Of cargoes Some OF the more enterprisine
shipping merchants are preparing to send En-
glish products to Formosa in swift and low.ly
ing steamers, manned by trusty men; and take
their chances of running the blockade of thai
J island. There are plenty of seaman and officer.
ready to embark on these block running expe
J ditions, and If the blockade is extended to tn,
coast OF China proper, as is threatened b,
5 France, the business may become as popula
and profitable as it was during the American
civil war.
