KWANGTUNG RICE

Shipment Outside The Province

This is the Arst time that rice can be shipped from Kwangtung to other provinces on account of the excellent harvest this year. The Chinese 'customs are assuredj that the rice shipped from Canton is grown in Kwangtung and should' not be confused with imported rice.
