The uestion OF an Industrial Exhibi-
ton for China, which was suggested
about two years ago, seems to have taken
tangible form and the project is now
under serious consideration at Shanghai.
The Chinese papers announce that the
Exhibition will be held most probably at
Shanghai two years hence, ION a scale
fitting the present importance OF the
China trade and Of Shanghai as its me-
tropolis" While speaking Of Chinese
trade it may be mentioned az subject
for comment that there seems 10 be an
almost total absence Of trade statistics in
the city OF Hongkong. The public prints
are also complaining that the want OF
these statistics Is attended with grave
dsadv antages," which is no doubt the
case. An instance of this commercial
want is cited when the London Chamber
OF Commerce, in 1885, in support OF the
demand of the colony at HongkOng for
efficient fortifcation, asserted that the
trade amounted to four millions sterling,
when in fact it amounted to nearly forty
millions sterling, although there were no
available statistics to show that sum.
In politics the discussion OF the ''silyer
question" is being engaged in at Hong
kong and other ports which are directly
affected, and the position of the United
States is generally cited in illustration of
both sides of the issue. The statement
recently made by a st. Petersburg jour
nal that the relations existing between
Russia and China were greatly strained
on account of frontier difficulties has
been denied both from Tientsin and ST.
Petersburg in dispatch which closes as
follows: Important questions are pend
ing connected with navigation and fir IN
tier delimitation which may give rise to
differences of opinion between the Rus
sian and Chinese Governments, but
there is every reason to believe that,
with the conciliatory feeling prevailing
on both sides, the negotiations will be
brought to mutually satisfactory con-
clusiOn."
It is declared in Hongkong that the
appointment of an Envoy of the Vatican
at Pelzin marks an epoch in the history
of Christian missions in China The
new departure seems to be hailed with
satisfaction and the opinion is expressed
that it was certainly political anomaly
to see France posing as the Protector Of
the Faith in the Far East The prudence
OF the policy thus pursued by the Vati-
can may be questioned, however, for in
case of a social upheaval in the East, the
Christian missions would be threatened
with extinction by massacre, without the
fear of French bayonets, which, in such
a case, would be much stronger than the
presence of a Papal NunciO

THE FAR EAST.

News from the Orient is always inter
esting and ofttimes suggestive. The lat
est news from China brings word that
there is danger of coming c mpetition in
the tea trade, which the world at large
for many years has been accustomed to
consider as the sole commercial right OF
China and Japan. 1t seems, however,
that the rapidly increasing production OF
teas in India and Ceylon is caTsing
those countries to search ont new mar
kets to avoid an otherwise inevitable fall
in prices 1t is undoubtedly the devel-
opment of India that has caused the
present production of tea to Outstrip even
the enormous modern demand, which is
one of the most remarkable growths in
the history of modern commerce. To

THE UNITED STATES SUGAR TRADE

A comparative view OF the sugar trade
Of the United States for the present year
with previous years, is now possible from
the semi-oficially prepared report of the
foreign sugar trade of the United States
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886.
The report in question shows that the
year IS84-5 was most unremunerative
year to the planters. The following com
parative table shows the amount and
value of the sugar importations into the
United States for the fiscal Yaars 1886

1t will be seen, therefore, that the i'm
portations for 1875 were over SO, 900, 900
pounds under the importations of the
previous year, with falling off in value
of about $25, 200, 900. But the importa-
tions for the year 1856, although show
ing decrease of over %, 100000 pounds
below 1884-5, show an increase of over
$1,000 900 in value. The fiscal year just
closed has also been year of low values,
and at times cane sugars have even I'M
dersold beet sugars on the London
market; but it has been more remun-
erative year than 1894-5, which was an
unprolific year, as before stated.
The report further estimates that three
years ago there were go, 798, 900 pounds
OF raw sugar in the United States, while
the estimates at the close of the fiscal
year 1856 place the stock at 486, 924 ,480
pounds, leaving a margin Of PIC, 126, 480
pounds The total value of the sugar
imported into the United States for the
fiscal years under consideration is 1882,
555 700, which is an average valuation
must be added about $50, 900, 900 paid
the Government for duties on imports for
the fiscal year 1856, and it will be seen
that the sugar bill of the American peO-
pie is an enormous item, especially when
the consumption of domestic sugars is
taken into consideration. Another item
of interest shown by the report is that
the island of Cuba produced more sugar
last year, with one exception, than any
other in its history.
Although not directly related to the
subject, it may be interesting to add
certain facts relating to the foreign i'm
port and export trade of San Francisco
for the seven months ending with Aug
ust, 1886 The total imports for the
above period received at San Francisco
from twenty-three foreign countries
amounted to $24, PAS ISL, and the exports
10 thirty-two foreign countries amounted
to SIS, $50 ,55S. From the total imports
must be deducted the s., 700,0 900 for the
value of goods in transit, which leaves
the imports for San Francisco at about
ST., 800, 900, or nearly equal to her ex-
ports. The Hawaiian Islands stand at
the head of San FranciscO's import trade
with 1882, 1856, which is over one-third
OF the total imports after deductimg the
transit trade Our trade with San Fran
cisco is almost equal to that of China
and Japan together, and outside Of Great
rs. L. and Ireland, we also take the
- VIM list of exports from San Fran
sell. WI The San Francisco Commercial

:. sS q lpared to that of other countries,
