The Chinese developed their own process of making the dye and have used their native product for many centuries before foreign dyes were known.

The imports of aniline dyes into China ia 1913 were valued at $3,943,- 320: those of artificial indigo at $7,172,206, and of vegetable in- digo at $41,535. Belgium and Germany fornishes practically the whole of the aniline colours, about 15 per cent."of the trade being handled through Horg kong. Belgium and Germany also farnish practically the whole of the artificial indigo, Germany furnishing about twice as much as Belgium. A consider- abla portion of this trade also is handled through Hongkong. Hankow nd Nowchwang are tho chief centres of imports, though nearly all of the ports in South China import considerable quan- tities for their dyeing industries as well as for general distribution.
