OUR TRADE With CHINA, States vice consul at Hong-Kong writes to the Department of State, in reply to the trade cir. cular of last August, that the n American goods in China is prae’ ited except by the question of price: for such articles as drills, jeans, sh petroleum, qui ninseng. It is only necessary that they should be offered as cheap as, or cheaper than, simi- lar exports from ether countries, to develop a prosperous trade. There seems to be a lack of y among our merchants, who are letting rade fall into other hands, until the arrival of a ship frem the U1 freighted with cotton goods, kerosense, &c., is a rareevent. The want of banking facilitles between New York and China for outward cargoes probably deters our merchants from ventures where the returns are distant.
