TRADE IN CANTON. In-some notes on the trade of Canton for the June quarter the British Vice- Consul says the figures for oil imports are rather interesting, as showing that American oil is gradually losing the market and that its place is being taken, by oil from Bornea or Sumatra, import ed by British firms. The Customs figures TaL C. 269. HONGKONG.
