a half months of the year as a result of Sino-Japanese hostilities. The export trade was very seriously curtailed subsequent to the closure of the Pearl River on the 13th of October. The values of principal exports of Chinese commodities from Hong Kong in 1938 were as follows:—

Wood Oil $39,762,205 *Tin $16,318,553 Tea $12,080,814 Wolfram Ore $14,252,838 *Firecrackers $4,647,436 *Peanut Oil $3,920,453 Hides $3,672,228 $2,359,284 Feathers $2,187,651 *Preserved Ginger

Exports of Hong Kong manufactured goods under Imperial Preference were well maintained in 1938. The Trade Returns do not differentiate between exports of locally manufactured goods and re-exports of similar imported goods. It is therefore impossible to give approximate exports of locally manufactured sugar, cement, rope and woven cotton and artificial silk cloth because exports under these headings include considerable quantities of imported goods re-exported to adjacent markets. In the case of many other classes of goods, however, there is little import trade and the export figures may be taken to represent mainly the export of locally manufactured goods. The following export of Hong Kong made goods in 1938 has been assessed on this basis:

Canvas Rubber Shoes $6,675,542 Singlets $5,019,924 Shirts $2,168,543 Socks $1,121,172 Other wearing apparel $3,426,077 Electric Torches $2,900,261 Electric Batteries $2,189,923 Hats $1,068,113

*NOTE.—Chinese tin is refined in Hong Kong before export. The item firecrackers includes locally made firecrackers as well as firecrackers imported from South China and Macao.
