The Canton terminus has been estab. lished at Taishatow (East Gate,) and is thus conveniently situated at the eastern extremity of the new bund.

THE TRADE OF CANTON,
There are some melancholy aspects to be found in the annual report of Mr. Paul H. King, Commissioner of Customs, just issued, on the trade of Canton for 1908. As proof that the entrepot of South China has not been in a flourishing a condition as in pre- coding year, the Commissioner in his
contributed $568,745, or a decrease, of $10,993, as compared with the 1997 figures, due to floods and typhoon, fallure of the tice crop, shortness in the first silk crop, the national mourning, and the geo. erally depressed state of local business. The line suffered greatly from the floods in Juge;. passenger traffic had to be interrupted for 16 days-lu some places the rails were' is feet under water; this involved the company in great expense.
