ΑΜΟΥ.

sidered, even for China, to be very dirty, and its inhabitants are unusually squalid in their babies. There are several places of interest to foreigners in the vicinity, and excursions are made to Chang chow-fu, the chief city of the department of that name, and situated about 35 miles rom Amoy. The island of Kulangsu is about a third of a mile from Amoy, and the residences of nearly all the foreigners are to be found there, although most of the foreign business is transacted on the Amoy side. A tiny shipping sheet called the Amoy Cazette is published daily. The population of Amoy is estimated at 88,000. The foreign residents number about 280.

There has always been a comparatively good trade done at Amoy. In 1864 the rebels captured Chang-chow-fu, and the commerce of the port was greatly interfered with. There are a number of steamers from Hongkong which teuch here regularly, and communication with that port is thus very frequent. Direct communication with Manila and the Straits Settlements is also maintained. The total export of Tea for 1881 was 164,177 piculs, and of Sugar for the same period 197,061 piculs. The net importation of Opium for 1881 was 8,177 piculs as compared with 5,757 piculs in 1880. The total value of the foreign trade of the port for 1881 was Tls. 11,939,375, against Tls. 10,033,584 in 1880.
