Free Trade Rosults.

rEec AT0Oe
A very extensive view Of the COM
mercial and financial record Of English
trade Is given In the London Economist.
1t appears that the imports of foreign
countries retained for English con-
sumption would have shown an in
crease of 9.95 per cen in 1894 as COM
pared with 1893, with the exports Of
English goods 1886 per cen larger than
In 1893, II allowance were made for the
decline in prices last year. As a matter
OF fact, however, the actual values
showed an increase of 90 per cent in
imports and a decrease of 90 per cent
in exports.
In 3 there was an enlargement of
the Foreign trade of the United King
dom. but at prices that indicate stag
nation. The smaller margin Of profit
derived from trade in, 1894 showed that
the average prices Of that years i'm
ports were 7.91 per cent lower than in
1893, while the average prices Of ex-
ports were 4.27 per cent lower. As the
Economist says. 1T meant not only
more and more work for no more or
even less money; but when prices were
persistently slipping away, the value Of
stocks deteriorates, and losses accrue"
1t would seem, however, that there
has been at least a little silver lining to
this dark cloud, and that the English
manufacturers did not transact such q
bad business as appears upon the sur.
face. Owing to the lower prices, the
English imports cost $15O,OOO,OOO less
than they would have cost had the
prices Of 1893 been maintained, where
as, the loss in their exports reached
only $4,000 600. In textile industries
there was a gain Of $46,35O, 600 through
the lower value Of raw materials i'm
ported, as against a loss of $25, 10000
In the lower prices of yarns and fabrics
sold to other countries, making their
gain In this respect over $21, 600, GOO at
the expense Of the producers Of the raw
material and the purchasers Of their
manufactured goods.

OF the 50, 1C6, OSS tons of coal pro-
duced In the Appalachian or Atlantic
seaboard coal field in 1892, practically
23,OOD,OOO tons-to be exact, PROCESSES

production gave employment to b.

THAT CHINESE LOAN
American Capitalists Are Ne.
gotiating to Secure It.
CHANCES ARE CONSIDERED GOOD
shipments Silver and Re-
eeipts Of old.

Washington. June 2i.-Oficials OF
the Chinese legation say the American
capitalists who are negotiating In China
to secure loan Of 900. 600, 900 taeis,
which China Is about to pay Japan. are
by no means urging vague or futile
suit. and that they stand quite as good
a chance Of securing the loan rs any
other money representatives. Some
misapprehension has been occasioned
by a statement that China closed her
loan in Paris. 1t Is explained that this
loan is n subordinate one Of 10, 900, 600
taels to cover the surrender Of the Lao
Tong peninsula. As Russia and France
prevailed upon Japan u make the sur.
render. thus yielding the permanent
occupancy Of Port Arthur. these coun-
tries undertook TO guarantee the loan
Of 10. 900. 900 taels. which reimburses
Japan for this particular Transaction.
But the mint indemnity Of 200. 000. 900
teals carries no guarantee by Russia
and France, and il is this mint loan
which il still open and to which the
attention Ut Amer lean investors Is at.
tracted. There is much interest and
speculation Ms t. the result Of the loan
II secured by American parties. 1t il
said that the first result would be the
shipment Of an unprecedented amount
of silver. But as China's bonds are
payable Ia gold. the ultimate result
would DO 70 bring back gold for the
silver paid 20 Japan. II is pointed
out also that interest ON the entire loan
will not exceed Is. oo0. COO annually. SO
that the Chinese customs receipts Of
sea. 600. 600 will readily meet interest
charges and provide sinking fund for
the redemption Of the bonds. which
will probably ron for twenty years
