WUHU

The export in 1893 was 3,658 tons as against 11,282 tons in 1892. There is a large trade in Timber in Wuhu, but that, like all other trade, is in the hands of the Chinese. The total value of the trade of the port for 1893 was Tls. 9,661,962 as against Tls. 10,923,239 in 1892.

The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. The tract of land selected for the British Settlement, though admirably suited for the purpose, with good deep water frontage, has not yet been availed of, and there are few foreign houses in the place. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 77,000. This city was the scene of formidable anti-missionary riots in June, 1891.
