THE YEARS SEALING.

II Is reported that the AnglO-American Joint
High Commission has reached an agreement on
all points of dispute between this country and
Canada except that of reciprocity in trade. and
that treaty for their final settlement will be
concluded before the Commission is disbandcd
II so, the Commission has done fully as well
as II was expected TO do. There scarcely
room to hope even. that It would settle all con-
troversies. In settling all but one, and in
arousing and establishing between the two ma
tions an earnest desire for amlcable relatlans
the Commission will have performed one Of
the greatest possible services to all concerned
According to the report, agreement must have
been reached on the sealing question. That
invests with peculiar interest the statistics of
the last seasons operations Of the Canadian
senng fleet. as showing the magnitude Of the
industry affected The year seems to have
BEEN on the whole, an exceptionally good one
The seals are more and more abandoning their
old haunts and seeking now ones, that the
sealers have to hunt for them. and sometimes
miss them altogether. But when they do find
them they find them in great numbers and So
cure a rich booty of skins. In 1891 sixty-fve
vessels went out and secured only 10000 skins.
or 4G2 apiece This year only thirty-fve went
OUT anu stcuTtu -I,NDb NhlllN' vi ''' "l'''''
This year about 900 white men and 100 Indians
were engaged in the industry and the value OF
the catch amounted 10 not far from SJOO,OOO.
There have been conflicting rumors about the
form of settlement of this question reached by
the Commission. 1t has been stated with great
posltivcncss that the British Commissioners
have agreed TO close out tho Canadian sealing
industry altogether. in return for cash lndem-
nifty based upon the value of the vessels en-
gagged in it. on the other hand. il is also stated
that the British Commissioners will not con
sent to any such thing We shall see when the
proper time comes. What is evident from the
wears statistics Is that the Canadian sealing
Industry. while i'm prosperous condition. is by
no means Of so great magnitude as To he para
mount over all other international interests.
There is reason for confidence. therefore. that
the Commissioners have reached some settle
ment which will be equitable and satisfactory
all around.

There remains, however. the vast stretch OF
coast between Kiao-ChAu and Kow-Loon, the
chief part Of the Chinese coast In extent, ana
by far the richest and most important. IL Is
as yet uninvadcd and unappropriated, ana IL
seems emIncntly desirable that II should re-
main So Its great ports-Amoy. Swatow, Nihg-
Po, Shanghai. Hang Chow and others-snouid
be kept open and kept neutral. so should the
Yang.tse River the chief interior waterway or
the empire whose mouth Shanghai commands.
There are large foreign settlements along II.
Russian interests are great mt Hang-Chow,
French at Shanghai and German at several
tea ports All that is well. But to anything
like such extension OF jurisdiction or control
by one Power as to exclude or discriminate
against others objection OF the most earnest
kind Is to be made.
The interest of the United States In these
matters is n purely peaceful and commercial
one. but 1t is also a large one. 1t is not
commonly realized. we imagine. that apart
from the British Empire and Japan this coun-
try Is by far the largest trader with China
Take Annoy as an example. In 1896 Its exports
to the United States were S469472 while to the
entire British Empire, including singapore ana
Hong Kong, they were only $J)3.1So ana II 10
the United States figures we add those OF the
Philippines, sos, ,165, as we may now properly
do, the total comes close to the British total
and is far greater than any other If we turn
to Shanghai now under chief consideration. we
find its exports In 1897 to the United States
amounting to sS7231S7. In 1896 the trade OF
the United States with China amounted to
S23. .5OO. 900: that Of Russia with China to S13,-
GSO,OOO, and that Of France. Germany and all
the rest Of Continental Europe put together,
apart from Russia. to only S22,OOO'oOO. These
figures show how grent our commercial inter
ests in China already are. Our acquisition OF
Hawaii and the Philippines will beyond doubt
greatly increase them And In them are found
our indlsputable right to insist so far as the
bulk Of the Chinese Empire IS concerned. upon
the maintenance OF the open door.

against 1l3.60O.0O0 last year, and in the same
time exports have been about 7J,400.000 bushels
OF corn. against 7S2O0.0OO last year. 1t is sup
possible that purchases Of wheat are pushed much
beyond the quantity needed for mere repenish-
ment Of stocks. because the price is considered
lower than is likely to be seen again for a time,
but such explanation serves to corn.
Meanwhile. the volume Of payments through all
clearing houses has not only been larger than
ever before-larger even than in the unparal-
leled month of November-but larger outside of

the month is already not far below the 6OOO-

business yet to come.
