A cotton-spinning factory is about 70 be
established in Shanghai. English capital
is behind it. and il viii be conducted by
English managers The treaty of Simo-
noseki permits the introduction OF for
eign machinery hitherto interdicted. and
this, the first institution of its kind in
China, is one of the early fruits OF it,.
promising indefinite growth and expan-
sion. Ten cents day is accounted good
wages in China, and manufactures there
can be conducted more cheaply than in
any other part of the world, unless Japan
be an exception. The new departure is
significant and important, and there is
no reason why England should possess
monopoly in the enterprise. She may
find American cotton mills and other fac

country one OF these days. She has had
n free hand and no competitors in Indla
for long period. but China is open 10
everybody's capital and ingenuity. and
there Is room there, or will be, for the

commercial and industrial era brightens
