development of property is being watched with keenes

is being felt by machinery Dealers by those who handle
and mill supplies for they already report that business is
better with them than has been the for number of years
past In fact of these houses state that they
SO busy before and that conditions looked

So much for the metal mining industry Equally good

FINANCE IN CHINA

The fac. that China in her dis
organized condition has remained
practically free from disorder in
dicates how easily governed the
Chinese are, but no matter how
peaceable the people it is difficult
for an impoverished government
to carry on the administration of
affairs for any length of time.
The lack of credit associated
with the new regime has nowhere
been more apparent than in Can
ton. where the local bank notes
have of late only been accepted at
a discount of 30 per cent, and then
only with difficulty. In Septem-
Der the discount on the bank notes
was well over 20 per cent, and it
was realized that something would
have to be done in the matter at
an early date What could not be
achieved by all the threats of gov
eminent, backed by the force of
arms, is likely to be successfully
accomplished by public spirited
merchants.
The mer hants held meeting
and decided to take upon them
selves the responsibility of giving
the notes their full value if they
were supported by the government.
Word to this effect was sent to the
government president, who cord
tally approved of the plan. The
scheme was embodied in a set of
10 regulations, which threatened
all sorts of pains and penalties as
is usual in a Chinese decree of this
kind to those who did not comply
with the regulations. Within
week the discount of local notes
gradually disappeared, until on the
25th of September the discount had
nominally at any rate disappeared.
