In his report on the trade of Ichang for 1899 Mr. Acting Consul Wilton notes a substantial increase, both in the local trade with other tresty parts, (chiefly Shanghai Hankow and Chung- king) and the transhipment trade between Chungking and the riverain ports (chiefly Hankow and Shanghai) The former has ad paced from £193,009 in 1898 to £555,938; the latter from £2,298,437 in 1898 to £4,674,949. The total trade of the port has thus more than doubled itself in the Last year. This Mr. Wit
