METEOROLOGICAL SIGNALE
BUSINESS IN TONKIN.
EXPORT TRADE FLOURISHING, WHILE IMPORT TRADE IS DEPRESSED The export trade of Tonkin during the first quarter of this year increased at a pace which only slackened by the dificulty of fiadiog enough verssle to carry the shipments to Europe. The export of grain shows a marked advance. But, anys the Avenir du Tonkin, the most gladdening feature is the heavier ship. ments of minerals. This is a welcome sign of the times, for it brings home, both to the Government and to capitalists, the fact that there'"' development of the minas of Tonkin will add Sigua! aenormously to the wealth of the Colony. Un
happily, the mining, region lies in the apper country, which is so overran by brigands that prospectors are ia risk of their lives. The ex- ports from Tonkla in 1908 were 100,000 French tans over and above those of 1907. Thosa in the know say that the figures for igog will far exceed
shose for 1908.
Fat otherwise in it with the import trado, in .which the depression is terrible indeed. Many stores, with heavy expense to meet, hardly make enough to cover the outlay and not always even that. Optimiste hope for a brighter future in view of a huge public works loan to be shortly raised by Government, which may give a much needed spurt to business. Others look for improvement from the approaching compla:" tion of the Yanoan railway. Some fancy that the depression will only end when the mines in
Steam Launches of Bieel or Wood, Lighters, Steel Buildings, and Roofs, Bridge the Colony are so developed as to draw crowds' Work, and all kinds of Machinery are made on the premises.
Tenders will be made up when required and the workmanship and material will be granted,
The cust of Docking, and repair work, will be found to compare favourably with that of any part in the world.
