The IVosident has found that while
the Chinese government has ostensibly
promised to suppress the loyoott, it ae
t dally ha taken no steps in that direc

it simply agreed to stop disordeis, which
were the ivsu't of the boycott and it
was not possible to order its subjects
to buy gvHfcl of one merchant instead of
another. The boycott doubtless will
affect American trade but it has not
done so up to this time.
