Exports Hopeful Symptom.
In summing up the general situa-
ton in China's trade world for last
year. F. E. Taylor. statistical secre-
tary of the inspectorate general of
customs, Shanghai, writes:
"A very hopeful symptom is to be
seen in the, growth of all kinds of
industries, and the statistics show
that the competition of certain home
made articles. such as cotton goods
and matches is being more and more
felt by importers. In the KWangtung
Leased Territory and elsewhere the

other chemicals; while the Ceramic

there is a good demand. They are
also making hardened bean oil. to be
used in the manufacture of soap,
stearine and glycerine. At Tsingtau
they are erecting cotton mill. as
we'll as a flour mill and a leather fac
tory, and a refrigerating plant for
cold storage is in course of erection
Chinese factories are increasing IN
number: the formation Of influential
associations for the improvement OF
domestic products is a sign of the
times, and there is every reason to
hope that the energetic men who are
responsible for their initiation will
succeed in introducing improved
methods that will largely increase the
resources Of the country. 1t is
certain that, given an adequate rail-
way system, practicable roads, and
conserved waterways, the exports
from China could be increased to an
extent that is hardly realized.
ITO take concrete instance of the
possibilities Of increasing the ma
tional wealth. the case of the cotton
spinning and weaving industry may
be usefully examined. 1t Is a
practical certainty that this indus
try will show rapid and extensive ex-
pansion. The Japanese are fully
aware Of what must come and intend
to increase the number of their mills
in China, from which important re-
suits are likely to follow. The only
reason that Japan, a country where
cotton is not grown, has been able to
been able to develop a huge industry,
with which her cotton-producing
has been unable to compete,
is to be found in the difference be-
tween the fiscal systems of the two
countries. In Japan every encourage

which Is carefully fostered by gov

duty free. and there are no duties on
