Washington, Dec 26-The business
conditions in the Orient have been Sc
riously embarrassed by fluctuations in
the price of silver. and that the fluc-
tuations rather than the mere depre-
citation in the value of the white metal
had caused this commercial difficulty,
is shown by large number of special
consular reports received by the nation
al monetary commission. These re-
ports indicate that in Japan, where
the gold standard is the basis of ex-
change, there has been no unsettled
condition from that cause, but in Chi
ma. with the silver standard, dealings
with gold standard countries have been
injurieusly affected by changes in the
price of silver which make the profit
of a transaction largely dependent up
on the trend of exchange. The pre-
vailing statement of the reports is that
prices are largely regulated by rates Of
exchange.
These special consular reports were
called for by the state department at
the reqSest of Senator Lodge. Con-
sular officers were requested to re-
port what had been the tendency of
prices since 1896, measured by silver
currency; whether firms importing
from the United States, Great Britain
and Germany found the depreciation
of silver a matter OF serious embar
rassment to their business during the
last year. and whether the depreciation
of silver had stimulated considerably
the export trades.
Charles DENLY, consul general at
Shanghai, China, says when silver is
are made on goods stocked at lower
rates. Similarly, when silver falls i'm
portations must become Improbable
and heavy losses result upon goods in
stock.
Importing firms he says, have
found their legitimate trade seriously
embarrassed during the past twelve
months. by the depreciation of silver.
This loss does not usually fall upon the
foreign wholesale importer, as he does
not carry large stocks, but orders
goods on commission for Chinese buy
ers. The recent large fluctuation in
the value Of local currency in COMPARE
son with gold, he adds, ruined hun
dreds of Chinese merchants who had
dealings with foreigners. Normally,
he declares this depreciation would
have considerably stimulated the ex-
port trade, but the markets were so
affected by other considerations that it
was difficult to trace this influence.
The foreign trade in general, he says,
has been disturbed since 1890 by fluc-
tuations in the gold value of silver.
Julian III. Arnold, consul at Annoy,
China, says that the foreign importing
firms at Annoy all assert that the de.
probation of silver during the past
twelve months has seriously affected
their business.
Thomas e. Heenan, consul at New
chwang, China, states there is nc
doubt that the depreciation of silver
stimulates the exports of silver-usine
countries, but it is difficult to show
this in any given article.
That since 1896 the tendency of pri
ces has been upward, that the depre
citation has affected the local impor
tiers to a serious extent, on account Of
being unable to obtain higher table
prices from the Chinese consumer
