SAMSHUI TRADE REPORT.
The following is the report for the year 1903-
1. Local-The noteworthy events of the year 1902 have been parching drought when water was wanted, endless rain when fair weather was required, destructive floods of unusual height, and typhoons of exceptiona! violence. There were, in addition, changes in Tariffs increase of old, taxes and imposition of new ones, a constant fall in exchange and consequent appreciation of Foreign goods. With such perturbations in the meteorological clements, such unsteadiness in the foundations of trade, the year, from any standpoint, could not possibly be a prosperous one. The autumn Rice crop was almost a total failure, and Sugar Cane, Mulberry Leaves, and Cocoons produced ⚫barely one-half of their usual average. The merchants kept on the line of prudent expecta- tion or sought cheaper rates with other institutions than the Foreign Customs; and thus it comes that the gross value of trade at Samsbui is Hk. Tir. 400,000 less than in root. During July the whole West River Valley from Wuchow to Kongmoon was under water. The Custom House was like an island in the middle of a furious stream; the office was flooded, and the archives had to be removed into large
boats, which came to moor in the garden. The dikes broke in several places along the river, and terrible disasters ensued. In August the water receded, leaving a desolate sight of destruction, filth, reptiles, and nondescript articles. In the spring the British Consulate was closed, and the site sold to the Customs. The news that the Customs had bought land and were going to build put the enterprising Native in motion, and a dozen two-storied brick shops of pretty appearance were erected near the Custom House to December the railway line was aurveyed as far as Sam- shui city, and it is expected that before two years have elapsed the engine will be whistling under the walls.

THE WORD OF HONOUR. The men who do as they say, "the things that prove to be what they were said, to be,—- how cheering is to come upon them. We all hate to be deceived; especially when the deception is intentional. But all men are not liars, even if David did say so in his haste." If they were society would be impossible. Everybody knows that usiness is based on credit, an faith, Millions are bought and sold daily on nothing more solid than the pledged promises of men,-not written, merely verbal. The Stock Exchanges are often called pests of gamblers, yet nowhere is a promise held in greater honour. Therefore when we say that the tried and effective remedy called

2. Revenue. The collection of Samshui (Hb. Tis. 118,445) is Hk. Tit. 5,000 above that of 1901, itself in excess of the figures for 1899. It would have been much higher had not the fickle Tariff, constantly changing, come to paralyse trade or divert it to cheaper channels. The delta Native Customs are still competing with the Maritime establishment, with the result that the supply of Cotton Yarn need ed for these regions is now imported vid Chanchuer. The revenue of Samshui, though steadily increasing, cannot become reliable until the uniformity of Import Duty for the same goods, by Foreign or Native vessels, ex clusive of Likin, is assured and enforced. Kumchuk and Kongmoon suffer from the same causes as Samshui; but Kumchuk, the supplier of the rich and populous Kowkong region, has an increasing Piece Goods trade, and its income (Hk. Tls. 30,951) is Hk. Thi 7,600 higher than in 1901. Kongmoon (Hk. Tis. 46,100) also exceeds the Revenue of 1901 by nearly Hk. Tis. 9,000; but the trade of that place cannot be gauged until a residing Fore iga staff takes it in hand. At the end of 1901 three Native Custom Houses came under the

For 1902, instead of a deficit, the col. lection of the three stations has yielded Tis 70,000, while the expenses have attained only Tis. 5,600.

3. Foreign Trade.-(a) Imporis.-A large quantity, at least one-fifth, of the goods import ed into the southern provinces is not Foreign but Chinese produce from the northern ports, which, owing to its passage through and tran shipment at Hongkong, reaches destination" labelled as British merchandise. These goods pay an ad valorem Duty, and the fluctuations of exchange do not touch them much: But the goods coming from Europe suffer from all the uncertainties of the exchange, and certainly during the year they have, in the delta, been bought in diminished quantity. The deplor .able falling off in Cotton Piece Goods recorded in the last Samshui Report has continued during the year with increased force. Kumchuk alone has made a notable advance under this head, Not only were fewer Piece Goods purchased on the Hongkong market, but also a good number of those purchased were imported in junks and paid Duty elsewhere. Chinese importers go to the cheapest shop, the cheapest carrier, and cheapest Custom House whenever they can. Cotton Yara is an article which, whatever its price, cannot well be missed in this region, for thousands of women require
Adelina Patti (Baroness Cederstrom) has given another great testimonial to the Apollo Piano-player. She was so delighted with the instrument that was purchased by her last year that this second testimonial is even stronger than the first one that she gave.

(6) Exports. The year does not compare favourably with 1901 as regards Exports, al ways for the same reason of tariff competition. Paper, Shoes, Fire-crackers, and Timber are attracted to Chanchuen by a tariff fully one. half lower than the Maritime Tarif; and, as s natural sequence, all these articles show a decrease in these statistics, Straw Bags (6,070,000 plecea) show, however, an advance of a million pieces over the figures for the pro- ceding year. These Bags, originally from Shiabing, used to be taken to Canton and thence exported in junks; but shipping and Customs facilities are so much greater at this port that exporters are more and more abandon. Tag Junk transport, Exports from Kumchuk are almost nil, and from Kongmoon, mostly dairy, farm, and garden product. As to Tea, there was a hope in the spring that, with an ad valorem Duty, the great masses of low-value Teas produced in the delta, and exported for the exclusive use of Chinese emigrants, were"
