Photography-Photographers did fairly well last year but compared with preceding years, their business showed a slight decline. The prices. of phota supplies were higher due | to the high exchange rate for Hong, Kong currency. Owing to keen com- petition the smaller studios made no profits.

Drugs. Druggists report a very profitable year. The many wars led to a very healthy demand for for- rign drugs for wounded soldiers. Manufacturers of pills, medical oils, etr., also did well.

Stationery. This line of business was not bad but not so good as in The business the preceding year. was afferted to some extent by the War when the export of goods to Kwangsi was held up. The Gov- ernment's order prohibiting the printing of lunar calendar "hooks and date blocks had also hit busi-

nese.

Tailoring.--European style tailors report lean year although Euro- peu dress' is gradually replacing long gown. But the number of tailors shops has greatly increased | Taxco "SCALE" and only the leading shops made good prafics though the rest did not netually lose money. The rise in prices af foreign woollen piece goods) hit the business.

Houshold Furniture. -Makers of European style furniture did quite well and their gonds have been in briek demand for the past few "years. Blackwood furniture, which is much more costly, is not now in demand. Show-eases and other fur- niture for the shops are also selling well.

While Chinese insurance com- panies did very bailly, last year, foreign insurance companies and Owing agents made good profits.

to the lack of confidence shown by their compatriots and the restric- tions imposed by the Canton author. ities, the Chinese companies made no profits at all. This offered a very good opportunity to the" for eign companies which lowered the rates and, in consequence, they were all well patronized.

Rattan Furniture. This line for merly did quite well but last year, business declined by about twenty per cent. Prices of rattan were un- usually high.
