annual report of the Fort Bayard Hongkong General Chamber of Amoy .. Commerce states:—
In spite of exceedingly adverse political conditions in China during 1924 there was again an increase in the total trade of the Colony, Imports and exports re- presenting a value of £135,800,000, as compared with £123,000,000 - In 1923. Total imports were worth | £72,155.478, an increase over 1923 of £10,200,000, and exports, at £63,000,000 in round figures, showed an increase of £2,302,463 over the figure 1923. These facts indicate a considerable accumu- lation of uncleared goods in“ Hongkong warehouses, and suggest the wisdom, of policy of cautious buying during ensuing months.
