For the last four or five years it has been customary to refer in the annual reviews of local trade and commerce to the premiling depression in the Far East. but the review of the past year's tride leaves us with the impression that on the whole there hus been some improvement in trade conditions. Hongkong being a free port (except for the import duty on liquor) there are no figures available to guide us in the matter, but when we turn to the valuable statistical records compiled, by the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs which give us the total of the imports from Hongkong into Chinn and the exports from China to the Colony they show that, if there has been a decling in the volume of trade done in the Colony in recent years, it is. the trade with China. statistice for the year just closed are
