The preservation of egg yolk and albumen is an industry which was started in 1897, and has been carried on with some success by two establishments since 1899. Under favourable conditions, it is thought Wuhu could supply 6,000 piculs of preserved yolk and 800 piculs of albumen, eggs costing from $6 to $8 per 1,000.

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, but regulations for the governing of the general Foreign settlement were issued in 1904. Houses are springing up, and road-making going on. Swamps have had to be filled up. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 80,750. This city was the scene of formidable anti-missionary riots in June, 1891.
