WUHU.
This port was opened to foreign trade, by the Chefoo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the river Yangtze, in the province of An-hwei, and is a half-way port between Chinkiang and Kiukiang, though nearer to the former. It has the appearance of a thriving and busy town, and is admirably located for trade. This is mainly owing to the excellence of its water communication with the interior. A large canal, with a depth of five to six feet of water in the winter and ten to twelve feet in the summer, connects the port with the important city of Ning-kuob-fu, in southern An-hwei, fifty miles distant. Another cana! runs inland for over eight uniles in a south-westerly direction to Taiping-hsien, an extensive tra district. This canal, which is only navigable in the summer, passes through Nan-ling and King- hsien, where the cultivation of silk is carried ou and may some day be of importance. Boats carrying from 200 to 300 piculs of tea can come from Tai-ping-hsien to Wuhu in the summer and autumn, but in the winter the creek is partially dry, and navigation rendered impossible. The silk districts of Nan-ling and King-beien are situated within fifty miles of Wubu. B sides the canals leading to Ning-kuoh fu and Tai-ping- hsien, there are two others communicating with Su-an and Tung-pó.
It will be scen, from the above enumeration of the facilities for water carriage from Wuhu, that it is calculated to prove an emperium for commerce. import trade has sprung up, and both that and the export trade were steadily A very fair growing until lately. The ret value of the foreign imports for the year 1882 was Tls. 1,816,695, compared with Tis. 2,376,324 in 1881. 2,852 piculs of Opium were imported in 1882, as compared with 3,520 piculs in 1881. Coal is likely, at no dis- tant date, to become a considerable article of export from Wubu, the mines at Chit- chou, near Ta-tung, turning out some 20 tons a day. The export in 1882 was 2,091 tons. The total value of the trade of the port for 1882 was Tis. 3,707,514 as against Tle. 4,379,036 in 1881.
The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. Its population is estimated at 60,000 inha- bitants. The anchorage is good and resembles that of Chinkiang.
