CHINA'S NEW LOAN.
German Papers EIated Over Talk OF
Joint Guarantee With England.

German Papers Elated Over Talk OF
n Joint Guarantee with England.
Berlin, Jan. 13.AThe press is greatly ex-
cited on the decision Of the Chinese loan
over the idea of a joint Anglo-German
loan. The suggestion has been eagerly
welcomed and since it has been mooted a
distinctly friendlier toI4e has been adopted
toward England, approaching a tone of
flattery.
A saying of Prince Bismarck has been
recalled saying that 1t would be foolish to
regard the English as fools in business
matters.
While there is no more probability than
hitherto that the government would be
willing to guarantee a loan, the papers,
enthusiastically encourage German houses
to negotiate with the English firms for a
joint issue loan.
The East Asiatic Correspondence. a
journal credited with Intimate rela
with the Chinese embassy, announces that
after the failure of Ii Hung Chang, Chi
ma placed the loan negotiations in the
hands of Sir Robert Hart British direc-
tor of the Chinese maritime customs,
whose efforts to place a loan in London,
secured by the salt monopoly, offer every
promise of being successful. The paper
adds that fresh tax legislation is probable
in China, where the tax rate is now only
2 shillings per head, as against shilbngs
a head in India plenty of revenue thus
being available.
With respect to the Anglo Russian agree
ment as to Korea, the East Asiatlc Cor
respondence says: "An agreement is prob
able on the basis of Russia controlling
the customs and McLeavy Brown, for
some time superintendent of customs at
Seoul, succeeding Sir Robert Hart"
1T is said the Emperor of China has
ordered Ii Hung Chang with large suite
to go to Tien Tsin to welcome Prince
Henry of Prussia. now en- route, and TO
escort him to PelSing.

A financial writer on one Of the lead

ket Tor the week ended Oct. q, draws
attention to the fact that America il

over all the Old World markets, while

Of even the strongest of foreign securi-
ties gave way under the strain, the

Doing Very Well.

OOAuB very WE'LL
The theory advanced by advocates of
the protective policy that imports
would respond to the improved condi-
lions Of business in the country is be-
ing realized. There was an increase of
100000 on imports Of foreign mer-
chandise for August, 1893, over the i'm
ports for the August Of the preceding
year. Our exports were but 100000
larger in August this year than in the
same month Of last year. This was an
element in the calculation upon which
the efficiency Of the Dingley tariff as a
revenue measure was based. The first
effect of an increase in duties was to
check importations, but the greater
prosperity resulting from a reviya. of
business enables the people to become
more liberal purchasers Of both home
and foreign goods. a feature Of the
trade report for August was the gain in
the exports of manufactured goods.
There was a falling on in the exports
Of grain. but the increase in the ex
ports Of manufactured goods made up
silis loss and placed 100000 to the
credit of the trade balance. The re-
ceipts Of the New York custom house
were &11 ,OOO, 1000 for August, against
100000 for August, 1897. The credit
balance for the eight months Of the
present year is $25O.O00.OOO greater
than for the corresponding period in
