Each village or commune possesses one or more hand looms, in the use of which the Ton- kinese are skilled from childhood.

prosperity of this local industry is largely due to the encouragement and material aid it received from M. de Lancssan, then Governor-General of the Protectorate. It was in Hanoi, the capital, that the first attempt was made in 1894, and a subsidy was granted to the manufacturers, which took the form of a royalty on each bundle of yarn produced during the first year. This enter- prise was, and is still, in the bands of a well
known local firm. In 1900, a second mill, almost double the size of the irst, commen- ced work in Haiphong, the seaport of the colony, and another of equal importance was inaugurated at Namdinh in May, 1902. The two last mentioned are the property of limit- ed companies, founded with French capital, whose headquarters are in Paris. All the machinery of these three mills is of English manufacture, with the exception of the en- gines in Nandinh, and was erected and started by English fitters. The following figures indicate the relative importance of
