some largor than the old church.
Mr. James Bow?rs has the contract
and is progressing nicely
with the work, the frame being
up. The pastor, Rev. R. J.
Blackmon, is highly pleased
with the progress the work is
making as well as with the
character of the work, It is expected
to have the building completed

was overhauled, but none
know when it was first built.

FOREIGN TRADE OF CHINA.
Car
Commercial and Financial World.
China's foreign trado, and especially
her trade with the Uni- .
ted States, developed very rap- wo|
idly in 1899, as is shown by a tjle
statement just received by the t
Treasury Bureau of Statictics. Wc
The statement in question, from ed
the "Returns of Trade" by the
Imperial Maritime Customs Service
of China, shows especially j()C|
rapid development in the sec- qie
tion where railways have recent- 1
ly been opened. Tht
The following ate extracts iug
from the report in question : a be
"The foreign trade of China win
during the year 1899 was char- Bia
acterized by an astonishing de- ou*
velopraent, and merchants, both 1
foreign and native, made hand- ^ei
some profits in almost every
branch. The political situation, on
although still unsettled, gave try
rise to no immediate fears ; ex- wa>
change remained remarkably ant
steady ; the rice crop was abun- Ka
dant; the Spring weather dur- Th<
ing the critical period for the dit
silkworms was unusually favor- doc
able ; and, except for a recrudes- . 1
cence of piracy on the West ln
River, there wore no disturban- . ?'
t it i
ces to check trade. The grat- l~v<
ifying result was that the year
beat all previous records and en{,
showed an advance without pre- Bp?
cedent. The total trade was "Is
valued at 460,533,288 hnikwan the
taels, (the average value of tin1 her
Haikwantael was $1,148 in 1890. rI
$0,697 in 1898, and $0,722 in at 1
1899) a rise of 91,916,805 haik- the
wan taels on 1898 nn<l mAro
than double the figures for 1890.
The internal trade of the coun- _00
try was also unusually brisk, ^
and the very important changes can
which will be brought about by fled
the extension of railways have F
already been proved. Newch- she
wang and Tientsin have prompt- 8tai
ly responded to the stimulus of
better means of communication, [l,a
and the trade of those ports lias
leaped forward, although the .
former suffered from a severe gta|
outbreak of the plague. It is aMfj
found that immediately trains j,re
begin to ran, districts through ed i
which there was little traffic, 1
such as between I'aoting and the
Pekin, suddenly commence to mei
hum with life and activity and the
there spings up a flourishing ln '
trade which was formerly
undreamt of and iinj ossible f. 1

tensive tunneling is required,

but rails have been laid for 40 ^
kilometres northwards from
