WUHU
873
There is a large trade in timber in Wuhu, but that, like all other trades, is in the hands of the Chinese. There is a steam flour mill, and a soap factory. The soap does not sell well. The preservation of egg yolk and albumen is an industry which was started în 1897, and has been carried on with several changes of proprietorship. A brick and tile manufactory is being erected.
The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. The tract of land selected 30 years ago for the foreign settlement was definitely ceded in 1906, and sites were allotted to the Anhwei Railway Company and to various shipping companies, each lot having a river frontage of 600 to 1,100 feet. Bunding operations have progressed satisfactorily, and the place has taken on a decided air of prosperity. The bund when completed will be about one mile in length. A railway is being made to Kwangtehchow. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 80,750.
