ICHANG

1007

Native opium is largely grown from here westwards, and is increasing in quantity and improving in quality. The export in 1906 was nearly 50,000 cwts. The climate of Ichang is drier than that of the lower river ports summers very warm, winters dry and pleasant. The native population is estimated at some 40,000. The foreign residents are few in number, educated native agents representing the four or five foreign houses (three British) doing business here. Fine new Consular and Customs buildings and shipping offices have recently been erected and have improved the appearance of the settlement very much. A German Post Office was opened in 1903.

The net value of the trade of the port in 190 was Tls. 14,847,495 as compared with Tls. 7,613218 in 1908 and Tls. 6,557,173 in 1907.
