SOOCHOW

州蘇 Sú-chau

Soochow, the capital of the province of Kiangsu, lies about 80 miles west by water and 54 by rail and a little north of Shanghai, with which it is connected by excellent inland water-ways The Shanghai-Nanking Railway supplies still better connection. The city is a rectangle, its length from north to south being three and a half miles and its width from east to west two and a half, the total circumference being about 10 miles. It lies not far from the eastern shore of the great Taihu lake. Past its walls runs the southern section of the Grand Canal, which joins Hangchow to Chinkiang; and in every direction spread creeks or canals, affording easy communication with the numerous towns in the surrounding country. It is an important manufacturing centre, with a population of nearly 500,000. Its two chief manufactures are satins and silk embroideries of various kinds. In addition, it sends out silk goods, linen and cotton fabrics, paper, lacquerware, and articles in iron, ivory, wood, horn, and glass, and rape seed. Since the opening of the port, manufactures on foreign principles have been introduced, and there are now three silk filatures, one cotton mill, three match factories, one cardboard factory, and a brick and tile factory. There are two electric light companies.
