allusion to the satisfactory nature of the tradal prospects of the port we would draw special attention to his remarki. upon the import of cotton and woollen goods as dependant upon their quality, The question is very constantly asked ́how it happens that, in a country, con
suming such an immense quantity of manufactured cotton goods, the demand should be so comparatively small-fr such it is, when the vast population is
taken into account. Two answers are
furnished by Mr Sinclair, as follows
1-The sale of Cotton goods can never be very extensive in this Province, so long a the Lekin ezsottons or war-taxes remain in forde at the numerous inland barriers; in- dead,
it may almost be said that British sbe ad- manufactures do not reach
beyond zoent districts, excepting in exceedingly amall quantities, owing to the above-named airctimstance.
2-The Nankeen staffs of native mana"
of wblah a large supply finds it to this port manually, from Shangha WAY
into
and Tientsin, compete advantageonely with British cottons. They are generally pre ferred by the working classes, who are the cotton wearing population, on account of the stronger and warmer texture of the Kankeens and their greater durability.
We do not think that the first reason is at all adequate to account for the o paratively small use of British Cotton goods. If the majority of natives in Foochow itself used them, and it wa merely in the country parts that they were but little availed of, it would hold good. But what is the fact. Not only In Foochow but in Hongkong, where in port or Lekin duties are unknown, nİDE natives out of ten wese nativy cotton
