Colonel Sell, ex-American Consul in Sydney, addressing tht> London Chamber of OunTierce, eaid that the trade per capita showed Australians to bo among the wealthiest and most commercial people in the world. Australia, considering her population, waa, he said, the best market on the globe. There had been practically no 105863 in bnaines?. We are Inclined to eccff at the Chinese and their topsy tarvy waya. And yefc in some things we might take a lesson. For instance, when a bank fails in China all the clerks and managers have their heads cut off, and thrown amongst the books of the firm, which are set on tire. For over 200 years a bank has never been known to fail. This is significant. A. similar method cf punishment In England would be good for investors. At any rate, the bank officials woald never offend again.
