NINGPO

are spanned by arches erected in memory of distinguished natives. Ningpo has been celebrated as possessing the fourth library of Chinese works, in point of numbers, which existed in the empire. It was owned by a family who resided near the south gate. The site occupied by the foreign residences is on the north bank of the river. The population of Ningpo is estimated at 255,000,

The foreign trade at Ningpo has never been large. This is owing to a considerable extent to the proximity of Shanghai; the native guilds preventing direct dealings with foreigners. The net quantity of Opium imported in 1894 was 5,565 piculs, as compared with 5,829 piculs in 1893. Of Tea, there were 162,721 piculs exported in 1894, and 184,773 in 1893. The total value of the trade of the port was Tls. 14,599,757 in 1894, and Tls. 15,478,005 in 1893.
