Auctions In China.

To a stranger Chinese auction is
most curious spectacle. The auctioneer
leans over a slightly elevated counter
and exhibits his wares. He says moth
ing. neither does the bidder, who mere
ly steps forward to the auctioneer and
runs his fingers up his sleeve, making
pressure on the salesman's arm, thus
indicating how much he will pay for
the article. Then another and another
repeat the action until the one signify
ing the highest price receives the ar
ticle without a word being exchanged
on either side. Only the auctioneer
and the successful bidder know the
price offered and accepted.
