See. Shanghai Trade Report," No, 253, p. 3. The estimated stocks at date, as above stated, are based upon the list ismed by the Chamber of Commerce; but that, in several of the more important items, is believed to be incorrect, inasmuch as certain Chinese, lobo were leery holders, were' not called upon for, and did not render any Returns at the close of last year. Thus the basis being faulty, the superstructure is imperfect, and these differences must be added to it by the concerned, if they would know the actual position of stocks, at date, or the closest approximation thereto that can be made with the resources at the command of the public.
