" (.' ": : . TEADE OF CHINA. - The Board of 'Trade has just published : fig- "" J*£ e . s dealing with the trade and. shipping 'of> China from the treaty ports. Therefrom it appears'that in comparison with 1906 imports - have increased very, slightly, but exports of native produce have expanded by over 11 per . cent.- Of the.total thetßritish-Empire.contri-butes by :far, the .large portion,'ambunfirig'last' year to G4per cent, of tile imports and about 44 per cent' of the exports, an improvement on the figures of 1906., Australasia lias-'iLvery email share- in this... trade, and. we received more than twice as much from Cfiina last year: Ss we ,did in''l9oß, r '"oUr v shipments" thence .fell away'-nearly 20 per cent., due)-of course, to the unfavourable season for cereals. ; Exports ..of tea from ;Chiija, I sho,w ! . great..expansion, owing'.in part-to the -'alteration in the methods ■ of transport, ; niuch of tho tea for Eussia going ;by. sea. instead of overland. Australasia,'however, has. largely increased her imports of China tea, these having risen from 2179 piculs in 1906, to 7175 piciils in 1907, equal to an increase of 666,1331b. The" extent- of -the shipping !.at . the l ,yarious treaty ports .may ,;be gauged from the number and ■tonnage ontered' and cleared. In 1907 the total was' 80,109,424 tons, of which 1G,686,305 tons were Chinese and 33,316,618 tons British. The,share of the '.latter" was 45.65' percent.;. whilst-.tho proportioU 'of'thW' cargoes supplied' 'Great Britain, as reprc- :., Eented by- the duties .paid,..was, 51,24. per., cent.. Last week the Customs-.revonue and--'*beer-c°l'ccted a ' : Wellington, .amounted.,.to. 12s.'6d.' and -;£224-17s. 3(1/respectively,* while the corresponding' figures for : 190?'were— Eeyenn®. £14,570 os. 7d„ and beer'duty' .£371 lis. 6d.

During the first half of this year tho catch ol sea fash on tho coasts of the United Kingdom reached 8,760,209cwt., exclusive of shell fislv a , J! lv ir r 'I'' lo value'of this was returriedat ,£4,655,738, besides shell fish .£190,794. According to the Monthly Statistical Bui-', letin, tho public debt of Now, South Wales on June 30 last was .£87,035,820, or X 2,027,994 moro than.on Juno 30,' 1907. Tho expenditure'from loans during the year was £2,189,897, but thero were some redemptions and adjuslments. The total will probably roach .£90,000,000 next, year. The production of rice in Japan seems to be constantly increasing. ■ United States' Consul Grassett, writing from Kobe., estimates the crop of tho whole empire at 243,399,485 bushels,. or about five million tons, and showing an increase 0f'5.9 per cent, as compared with the previous, year, and of 11.8 per cent, as compared with an averago yield. Theso improvements are\thought to be the result of.a largo acreage and also of an improved culture. It is stated, however, that the' increase has not kept pace with tho greater demand caused by the growth of tho population and by the increased consumption of rice among tho poorer class of farmers, instead of tho millet andwheat hitherto consumed. It is thought that 25 million'bushels would have to be imported ,to make up the deficiency. Apparently' tho efforts made to popularise Indian and Ceylon teas in Germany are meeting with considorablo success. In a report just to hand the British consul at Stettin states that whereas somo years ago the groator part of the teas sold wero called " Russian," and cost from 4 to G marks per lb., since Apri], 1906, when tho import duty was reduced from I mark to 25 pf. per kilo, retail prices havo been very considerably modified, and packed teas at reasonable prices havo beon introduced by two London firms. Even in the army the consumption of tea is increasing, and the new military instructions stato that the serving out of tea, as well as colleo, on long marches is considered advisable. Much more tea was exposed -for sale last year than was formerly the case,; and it seems probablo that the demand will lafgely incrcaso in near future.

NEW BIG RIVER, (by TELEGEArn—rni:ss association.) Reefton, September G. Tho mino manager of tho New Big River reports that stoping has been continued in tho eastern and the branch block Eastern Block: No. 5 stopo has been worked up to blank ground; in No. G stope there is 10ft. width of stone; in No. 7 stope the reef is 3ft. wide;' No. 8 stopo is boing risen for in blank, ground. Branch Block: In No. 5 stope there is' 15in. of stone; in No. 6 6tope the reef is 14ft. wide. Driving on No. 9 level south has been discontinued for tho present, and the manager is driving (about 12ft. back from the face of the level) in an easterly direction on 2ft. Gin. of reef formation. In No. 9 winze the reef is the full size of the winze without a sign of either wall. The repairing of No. 8 level is still in progress. Tho rise from No. 1 (intermediate level) has been holed through, and is being timbered up. During the week 120 tons of stone have been raised, and. the battery has been working full time.

NEW ULSTER-TWO REEFS STRUCK. < The New Ulster, a local company, has struck a reef 4ft. wide, tho • formation carrying 2ft. Gin. of good payable stone; also another reef, 18in, wide, showing gold. MINING NOTES. From our Northern exchanges we have extracted the following items:— Phoenix.—The manager of tho Phoenix mine reports that the gas suction engine and the new pump arc working very satisfactorily. Tho engine is working only two shifts at present. This week 20 tons of ore will be' broken out for treatment at tho Tararu battery. South Kajianga—The manager of tho South Kapanga mine states that in the drive on Scottie's reef tho rib of quartz referred to in his previous report has now made in with the main body. There is no further change in either the reef or tho country, which remains a very favourable class. New Waitekauri.—The lode in the interemdiftte level of the Now Waitekauri mine is at present somewhat' broken and is 18in. wide; Tho manager has obtained a good assay result from four samples taken. Ho is now stoping oft' ■ the rise, as the lode is showing a groat improvement and gold is seen ; in tho back of the rise. Tairua Conqueror.—Tho crosscut has been advanced a further 10ft. in the Tairua. Conqueror mine for the week, making tho total distance driven 101 ft. It has been found necessary to timber for somo distance, consequently progress in the crosscut has been somewhat impeded. Tho country being penetrated is still of a kindly character. • Tairua Extended.—The winze in tho Tairua Extondcd mine is now down 27ft. Tho manager reports that tho junction of the reef should be close at hand. In the winze the lode maintains its size and values. There is more solid quartz here, and a nice ".tail" canbe got in tho dish. .An assay from a width of Ift. on tho hanging-wall went £2 13s. 9d. per ton,, and one from tho full width of tho reef went .£1 3s. Gd. Most of tho quartz from this lode is being savod. Waitangi.—ln the Waitangi mino last week a hard flinty formation camo in on tho hanging wall of tho reef in the. west section, low level. This was 2ft.'wide and 12ft. long,' and no gold was .seen in it. The manager reports that tho best portion of gold-bearing ore is yet to\ bo broken out, but will be left for tho present. Tho ore from tho stopo looks well, and is heavily mineralised, besides showing nico dabs of gold. The crosscut-is in 22ft. in a littlo harder country, but still good for gold.

, Tairua Triumph.—ln the Bluff level of the Tairua Triumph mine the drive is in a total distance of 36ft. Tho country in the face is a mixture of rhvolite and sandstone, and bores well, but breaks very indifferently, henco progress is slow. A shot in the back of this level broke through it to a rubbly formation, which ran for some distance before it could bo stopped by temporary timbers. This will be permanently secured as soon as the drive advances far enough to allow of permanent timbers being placed in position. Golden Pah.—ln the Golden Pah mine tho country in tho drivo on, the Pah'reef is reported by the manager to be highly mineralised, and the reef to bo looking well. So far, howover, the quartz is not good enough to save. Davis' lead in the drive is at present somewhat disturbed,' owing to a slide coming in. A further 25ft. of driving should \connect with tho workings on the Pah reef, after which stoping and rising will bo taken in hand on the run of gold recently passed through. Prospecting at tho various old levels is in hand. Golden Belt.—ln the Golden Belt mine the riso has been connected with the winze at the Bluff level. Good headway is being mado with the tramway to tho Golden Arrow section, and should Be working in about a fortnight. In tho; Consolation section the winze and riso have connected. The manager reports that very fair progress is being made with the drivo ■on tho washdirt, and that very fair dish prospects can bo obtained from the material being passed through.

Silver Hill.—Tho stope on, tho reef in the low level in the Silver Hill mine has been taken along 3Gft., and tho manager reports that some good sulphide ore is seen in breaking down.. Tho No. 4 reef in the west branch'has been driven on sft. for tiie weok, the reef being ISin. wide and composed of good solid payable ore. This reef has been cut again 20ft. north from tho intersection, and it shows 14in. , of ■ payablo stone. The chute of oro has, been proved for 30ft., this being tha only work ever done on it in this property. Tho No. 4 reef has been assayed, yielding i3l 17s. Gd. Tairua Broken Hills.—ln tho Tairua Broken Hills mine on August 25, a small leader, 2in. wide, was passed through in tho main low level crosscut. Tho quartz gave a fair prospect in the dish. The now reef in tho south drire is reported by the manager to bo still looking well, but there is no further improvement in the value of tho ore. Tho oro from No. 1 reef at the battery level is still poor. Preparations are in hand for stoping on the block south of tho rise on No. 1 reef. In the drive north of No. 1 reef east from Seavcr's'leader crosscut the country is very tight and the reef somewhat pinched. The stopes above and below the battery level on No.. I reef are still looking very well, and a fair tonnage of payable ore is coming to hand. Crushing was resumed last Thursday. Since the last clean-up 180 tons of oro havo been crushed for 4170z. of amalgam. Kuranui.— I The manager of tho Kuranni mine reports that tho loader in the loading stopo (No. 2 cast) is 41in. wide, and that it never looked better than at present. It carries good minerals, and is a very compact body of oro. There are' 14 tons of oro from here at tho battery, ready for treatment. In the drivo (No. 2 cast) splendid country is reported. Tho leader maintains its size, and gives good prospects; Colours wero seen at last breaking down. This is described as an important feature in tho mine development, as it gives a block at present ths whole length from tho crosscut to tho faco (S9ft.). Stuping lias been commenced on tho Just-in-Timo leader, and 21ft. lias been broken down. Tho oro is being kept for treatment. Tho manager intends to keep this stope and No. 2 east going, in order to gc,t as much ore as possible for treatment Ijcl'oio crushing is commenced.

Kuranui-Caledonion.—The manager of tho ICuranui-Caledoniau mine reports that the rise on Duko's roof is in favourable country. Tho lode is about 4ft. wide, the hanging wall being a solid rib of hard quartz about 18in. wide, and tho footwnll rubbly quartz and country rock. This reef has not been picked up west of thd crosscut so far, although the dnvo is in very good country wesf of the break. The crosscut at No. 1 level is now in much better country, and last week a small leader was cut, containing nice minemls, and looking promising. A rise was put up on it for 7ft. or Bft., but it did not improve, so the crosscut is being continued. A little carbonic gas is coming from the face, which may indicato a reef ahead. Whitley's leader in the stopes bolow No. 3 level has produced a little picked stono during tho past fortnight, about 71b, or 61b. in all
