SHANGHAI, July /. - That the
Chinese arc the greatest gamblers in
the world is what any card player in
the smoking room Of any transpacifc
steamer will say. 1t is a fact that the
shin bones Of most Of the cattle of the
United States find their way to China
where they are used for making
dominoes and other implements of the
gambling houses throughout the coun-
try.
Any night and all night long one can
hear the swish of the dominoes and
other bones in the Chinese houses
along Canton Road and Foochow Road
in Shanghai. Along with the other
articles of civilization, such as gun
powder, the printing press and the fire.
cracker, which the Chinese are credited
with invcnting at tho time when the
inhabitants of Great Britain were
painting their bodies blue, the Chinese
invented more different ways of losing
money than any other nation
The Shanghai and Honekong lotter-
les, in which by investing $40 one
stands to win 100000, are famous
throughout the world. Besides the
native gambling processes the Chinese
have borrowed from the West the most
interesting and absorbing gambling
schemes. By adding few Oriental
twists they have been able to make
our games more expensive. The latest
addition to the gambling world of
China is the establishment in Shanghai
on July / Of the Chartered Stock and
Produce Exchange, Shanghai, Ltd.
Stock Exchange Opened
On the corner of the Avenue Edward
VII and Szechuen Road, in Shanghai
the first produce and stock exchange
ever established by the Chinese in
China was opened to-day. The organi-
zation is operated entirely by Chinese
who have studied the produce ex-
changes of foreign countries, but who
in this enterprise have been able to
do without any control or aid from
foreigners. 1t is said that the Origin
Of the Chinese exchange was the clos
ing Of the Japanese exchange in Shang-
hal during the boycott which LETT
Shanghai without a produce and stock
exchange for Chinese. Therefore, some
Of the most important merchants
in Shanghai decided to establish a
Chinese exchange for the Chinese
without foreign interference.
Those foreigners who have been do
ing business with Chinese merchants
during the last fifty years are forced
to admit that there is no more skillful

cial relationship with foreign coun-
tries. various lines Of trade have pros
pered. But competition also has be-
come very keen, and care must be
taken in avoiding difficulties.
"The Chartered Stock and Produce
Exchange, prompted by this wisdom,
has sprung up to answer the call of
time. 1t has united the leaders of the
benefit to all through their own ex-
perience, and to rid themselves of de-
fects."
The Governors message is signih-
cant because it indicates the tendency
among Chinese merchants to-day. That
tendency is in the direction of comb
nation, cooperation in business and
concerted control. The guild system
has been great advantage to Chinese
merchants in their dealings with for

Chinese purchaser knows exactly what

re tacrcupon systematically calls
upon foreign firms and demands the
same price or lower price, until he
finds a foreign firm willing to come to
his terms. If the foreigner refuses his
price, he remarks: "Another hong have
asked my friend five taels for this
fashion goods. You no can give me for
five taels, no can do business" The
competition among foreign firms has
been acute. Shanghai is not the virgin
field that Americans think of when
they think Of China. The Chinese
finally finds a firm willing to DO busi-
ness on his terms, for there are in
some lines as many foreign firms as
there are dealers in the same commodi-
ties.
An example is the metal trades, in
which there are more foreign import
ers of scrap metal and other metal
than there are Chinese dealers in those
articles of trade. There is no coop

the part of the foreigners. The estab-

ward cooperation and combination
among Chinese.
The Chinese have learned so eGec-
lively the methods Of the foreigner in
business that, before fifty years there
will no longer be place for the for
eigner in China, except possibly in the
development Of the large undevelopcd
areas and the construction of new rail
ways The politics Of China is
hideous mess, but the commerce OF
China is the most carefully organized
system in the world of trade.
