Chinese Merchants Visit American Cities
An interesting and unusual type of guests has recently been entertained in a number of American cities. These guests comprised a committee of influential and wealthy Chinese merchants. They have inspected the larger mercantile and manufacturing centers, and have also made purchases which have run into large figures. They are represented as alert, thoroughly interested, and desirous of obtaining information which may be used to advantage in the upbuilding of manufacturing and mercantile interests in China. It is to be hoped that on this mission of progress and neighborliness these influential citizens of the newest republic may have come in touch with other influences than those of a commercial nature only, and that the fruit of this contact may be seen in more open doors for gospel progress in China.
