& Co., and a number of newly-erected Chinese houses were burnt by the mobs, kerosene oil being used to feed the conflagration, and the Foreign residents. were driven out of the port, narrowly escaping with their lives. The Custom House was. re-opened on the 1st July of the same year. In August, 1898, an area of 3,800 Chinese- feet in length, by 800 to 1,200 in breadth, lying along the river side below the town, was assigned to Japan as a Japanese concession. The British Consulate was withdrawn in January, 1899, British interests being placed under the care of the Consul at Ichang. Calling steamers have to anchor in the river, the current of which is very swift, but some bunding work was commenced in December 1904, which provides safe berths. for three hulks, with jetties. The value of the trade of the port coming under the cognizance of the Foreign Customs was in 1904 estimated at Tls. 1,970,041 against Tls.. 2,420,903 in 1903. Tls. 1,510,011 in 1902 and Tls. 550,759 in 1900. The bulk of the carrying trade is, however, carried on by junks, which do not come under the control of the Foreign Customs.
