CH1NA'S RIVER POPULATION.

China is n land Of immense rivers ans
other waterways. and there is no country
in the world where boats are used 50
generally for all ina ginahe purposes. \
large proportion of TIE Chinese people
practically live on the water all tia
time. In the single port of NewchwanC
1000 Junte were registered last year. All
this makes large demand for eail-cloth,
roping and other accessories for small
boats. The sea going iunks use great
quantities OF rope, especially of large
sizes, instead Of anchor chains. Tho fact
that considerable quantities Of American
ropo are being ordered for Manchur,.
some for Chinese junks--indcates the
possibilities of trade in this line. II
sales can be established throughout North
China they may grow to wonderful proper
tio1s. If, in addition. it would bc possible
to got part of the rope trade Of southern
