silk trade, the fishing industry, fruit-farming, and the hotel business. What ever may develop in the way of trade, the place is likely to remain a favou- rite summer resort and, to some extent at least, a naval base. Throughout the year under review conditions were quiet and peaceful. An anti-Japanese boycott was somewhat, loosely enforced, but there were no other repercussions locally of the Japanese action in Manchuria and North China. The statistics for 1932, the second year of trade under the administration of the Maritime Customs show that 26 per cent. of the whole trade of the port is centred in the groundnut business, while dried and salted fish is the other most important staple at present, over 18,950 piculs of this latter commodity being exported during 1932. About 10 per cent. of the population earn their living from the fishing trade, and a number of trawlers, besides a multitude of other craft that arrive for the prawn season, operate from the port. The value of direct foreign imports was 0.8 million gold units, and the value of Chinese produce directly exported abroad was 2.8 million taels.
