suckle, and peach-bloom, and clusters of bamboos, several kinds of conifers, the stillignia, camphor tree, and maple in rich profusion, all help to make the scene ideally perfect.
The site selected for the Foreign Settlement extends for a mile along the east bank of the Grand Canal; it covers over half a square mile and is about four miles from the city wall. The Custom House and Commissioner's and Assistants' residences are built on the Customs Lot and an imposing Police Station has also been put up. On the west side, opposite the Settlement, à silk filature, owned by Chinese and built and worked on western lines, is in operation. Two mills are also being built in a foreign style. The net value of the trade of the port for the short time it was open in 1896 was Tls. 227,396, which amount Japan copper and silk piece goods chiefly contributed; no foreign opium and only a small quantity of tea passed through the Customs. A brisk trade has been done during the year 1897.
