NINGPO

A cotton mill was established in 1896, and commenced work in June of that year. In 1905 it worked night and day, turning out 38,000 piculs. A rival Chinese company, with $600,000 capital, has erected another mill opposite the Settlement. They bought English machinery selected by a Japanese engineer, and the technical staff is composed of Japanese. The mill started with 10,000 spindles. Electric light is used in this mill, and the Company has been considering a scheme for lighting the city. A flour mill started work early in 1905, but the import of flour is steadily increasing. It was at Ningpo that the Chinese first experimented with a steam trawler. The fishing guilds, noticing that those in charge were ignorant of the fishing grounds, held their peace, and the experiment has so far proved unsuccessful! Of Tea there were exported in 1906 only 84,082 piculs, against 87,682 piculs in 1905, 98,316 piculs in 1904, and 115,346 piculs in 1903. The falling off is due to a diversion of the Foochow tea trade, which formerly passed throught this port, but is now forwarded to Shanghai via Hangchow. Sugar formed the principal import in 1906, with a total of 278,973 piculs of brown and 117,611 piculs of refined. The net value of the trade of the port was Tls. 18,917,358 in 1906, Tls. 19,163,630 in 1903, and Tls. 12,297,412 in 1904.
