Foreign imports at Tientsin and Ching wantao increased by 40 per cent, and Chinese imports by 41 per cent. That the increase in exports was comparatively small is attributed to the disorder north of Kalgan and in Kansu and the corioua risk attending the transport of cotton and linseed from the far north. An excellent harvest is reported from this region,~-~ Stanstice of Chihli Paris.

A decision having been arrived at to build a breakwater at that port, the collection of wharfage and port dues for the purpose was begun on the 1st July, and the preparation of plans was almost completed by the end of the year. The value of the Kisochow trade was increased by nearly 4 million tals. The inaugura- tion of a weakly service of steamers, under the auspices of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, between Kiaochow and Canton, vid Shanghai and Hongkong, and the opening of branches of the Yokohama Specie Bank, the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and the Chartered Bank demonstrate the progressive character of this port

It was on the Yangtze that the rebellion

surprising thing is that only two out of the 10 ports included in this section, namely, Kiukiang and Wuhu, show s decline of trade value, and that on the whole section there is a gain of suns 161 million taels. Moreover, Kiukiang would not have declined but for the cessation of its opium trade, nor Wabu, but for the same reason, coupled with the abundance of Siamese and Tonkin rice, which undor sold the produce of Anhwei in its traditional markets. Rice crops were reported very good in Szechuan and Hunan, interior in Hupeh, satisfactory in Anhwez, Beans, wheat, and cotton- turned out badly in the Hankov, region. Throughout the section, es elsewhere, the political unrest and the dangers of trade routes appears to have kept back exports, while the difficulties of inland exchange, the currency chaos, and the depreciation of paper money were all accentunted." The drying up of the Grand Canal, in conse- quelice of the prolonged drought in the latter part of the year, caused a serious diversion of cargo, hitherto shipped from Chinking, to the Tientsin-Pukow Rail- way and to Tsingtau. The Pingsang coal mines and the Hanyang Ironworks, which had been more or less idle since the revolution, both resumed work during the year. The trade with Changteh has been largely increased by the service of stead, rise in the exports of raw sik in 1912 | is evidence of the esential prosperity of

gunches towing lighters which have plied between Hankow and Changten vid Yochow during the low-water season, and a further development of this trade, to advantageous to Yochow, may be looked for in the future
