CHINESE BOYCOTT IS RAPIDLY DYING OUT

ADVICE TO THIS EFFECT JUST RECEIVED

San Francisco Merchants Who Are in Close Touch With Orient Say Former Conditions Will Soon Be Established.

San Francisco.—Direct information from the trade ports and centers of China is to the effect that the boycott against goods shipped from the United States is rapidly dying out and that there is a prospect of an early and full resumption of business.

Such advices come to rich and influential Chinese merchants of this city who maintain intimate business relations with the big cities of China.

They have been received by the six companies and cover all of China that is known to the American business man coming from Canton, Hongkong, Shanghai and Hankow.

They say that progressive Chinese are gradually overcoming the hostility of the less advanced classes and growing openly defiant of the viceroys, who, it is alleged have fostered the anti-American feeling.

The building of the Canton-Hankow railway is said to be exerting a powerful influence in favor of trade with America, and has almost won back, says the Chinese writers, the sympathy of those importers of foodstuffs from this country who have been looking for an excuse to renew their business with American firms.

Local Chinese merchants predict an end in the near future of all trade differences.
