WUHU.

This port was opened to foreign trade, by the Chefoo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the river Yangtsze, in the province of An-hwei, and is a half-way port between Chinkiang and Kiukiang, though nearer to the former. It has the appearance of a thriving and busy town, and is admirably located for trade. This is mainly owing to the excellence of its water communication with the interior, A large canal, with a depth of five to six feet of water in the winter and ten to twelve feet in the summer, connects the port with the important city of Ning-kuoh-fu, in southern An-hwei, fifty miles distant. Another canal runs inland for over eight miles in a south-westerly direction to Taiping-hsien, an extensive tea district. This canal, which is only navigable in the summer, passes through Nan-ling and King- hsien, where the cultivation of silk is carried on, and may some day be of importance, The silk districts of Nan-ling and King-hsien are situated within fifty miles of Wuhu, Besides the canals leading to Ning-kuoh-fu and Tai-ping-hsien, there are two others communicating with Su-an and Tung-pó.
