THE MORNING ASTORIAN ASTORIA OltE. FRIDAY, JULY il, 1905, .'TXJ FEAK LOSS OF TRADE Frisco Merchants Concerned Over Chinese Boycott. LOSS MAY REACH MILLIONS China Buys Tea Millions of Exports Annually From United States. Of This Nine Millions is Bought in San Francisco, Principally Flour. . . . . San Francisco, July 27. Local mer chants interested in trade with .China have been rather over a rumor afloat that the Chinese boycott against Amer ican goods had gone into effect and that all the big milling and flour companies had received stop orders fqom. their agents in the Orient, and that existing contracts had been cancelled. This simmered down upon investiga tion to the action of a big Chinese im porting firm countermanding its orders given to a local milling company for shipment by the nest steamer to the Orient, the reason given being the re ceipt of "stop orders" from China. Oth er local firms sssert that the Chinese boycott does not interfere -with tlie trade and the volume of exports remain the same. China buys about $220,000, 000 worth of goods annually. Of this amount about (20,00.000 comes from the United States, of which about $9,000,000 come from San Francisco. Of the lat ter amount nearly one third is flour, about 500,000 barrels being exported. that are now filed on and likely to be lost to the state. As the propagation of Eastern oysters by transplanting is on the increase the loss of the native business will not greatly affect the growers, who are gradually setting apart large tract for the purpose of trans planting the Eastern seed thereon as fast as they are able to do so.
