returns.
As a matter of fact, the prin cipal exports from Wuchow are fire- wood, com fides, wood oil, dried, lizarde, timber, whita sugar, and liquid indigo. The smallness of the tributary rivers in the winter months accounts for the reduced export of timber from 69,373 square feet in July-September to 108 square feet in
October-December.
