A huge volume of business is now being done between Hong Kong and Tsingtao, Tientsin and other northern coastal ports. There are ia Hong Kong over 140 Chinese import and export firms engaged in the business and most of the larger of firms do over $800,000 worth business every year. They export chiefly sugar, rice, oils and other foodstuffs and import wheat, flour, ginseng, etc. Recently, they have raised over 100,000 to charter four steamers, for the trade. It is un- derstood that this will considerably affect the business of other ship- ping firms and it is reported that two leading firms are proposing to reduce the rates between Hong Kong and northern ports.
