Peking, Aug. 7.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce has decided to notify the Waichiaopu that Chinese trust companies and stockbrokers who have been refused registration by the Central Government have entered into partnership with foreigners in order to operate in Shanghai. The Government is apprehensive that, should these con-verns have insufficient capital, foreign investors may suffer. It therefore desires that the Waichiaopu should negotiate with the Legations here, with a view to_ their instructing their consuls at Shanghai to take any necessary action in the matter.—Reuter.
Mr. A. C. Clear, manager of the Shanghai-Nanking and Shanghai-Hangchow Railways, left for Chinwangtao on Thursday.
