demand in North China for certain varieties grown in the neighbourhood. No build- ing operations worth mentioning have been undertaken at the port, and no modern methods have as yet been introduced in the manufacture of the principal local pro- ducts as paper and pottery, though excellent raw material is close at hand, especially extensive deposits of kaolin capable of yielding far superior pottery than is now brought on the market from this district. The iron mines in the districts of Kutien. Fuan, and Siapu, where the deposits were reported in 1918 to be of a promising nature, have not yet been properly exploited, and so far no smelting works at Santuao, as then anticipated, have been erected, so that a regular trade in this valuable mineral does not yet exist here. The chief towns of the district are Funing, Fu-an, Ningte, and Shouning. There is a prosperous and increasing junk-trade, and regular steamship communication with the provincial capital. The net value of the trade of the port for 1920, coming under the control of the Maritime Customs, was Hk. Tls. 2,238,403, as compared with Hk. Tls. 2,318,874 for 1919, Hk. Tls. 1,739,972 for 1918. Hk. Tls. 2,502,562 for 1917 and Hk. Tls. 2,927,460 for 1916,
