business
of

wth
the
Far
East
has
been
temporarily
demoralized
by
the
Chinese
boycott
of
Japanese
goods
but
not,
paradoxically
enough,
because
the
Chinese
refuse
to
buy
Japanese
salt
herring.
Astute
importers
of
Shanghai
and

have
apparently
been
making
use
of
the
boycott
as
a
means
of
cutting
down
the
prices

the

sufferers
have
been
the
white
men
engaged
in

business
on

In

past
the
Japanese
on
this
coast
have
controlled
a
large
proportion
of
this
pack,
and
the
market
has
been
almost
entirely
Chinese.
With

boycott,
white
fishermen
and

thought
they
might
have
a

to

It
be
known
that
they
would
buy
the
herring
from

producers
If
the
price
was
equal.
When
the
white
men
offered
their
salt
herring,
the
Japanese
cut
the
price
and
the
Chinese
bought
the
cheaper.
The
white
reduced
prices,
and
received
a
few
more
orders,
but
before
the

could
be
satisfied
the

undersold
again.
