of 34 ft. 1 in., the depth of water on the blocks being 28 ft. 10 in. at springs, 27 ft. 11 in. at ordinary springs, and 21 ft. 4 in. at low water of springs. Yokohama is well supplied with hotels, and also with English daily papers, of which three are published in the port, namely, the Japan Daily Mail, Japan Gazette, and Japan Herald, and several weeklies.
The Japanese population of Yokohama has grown considerably in the last ten years and is now about 350,000. At the last census the number of foreign residents, exclusive of Chinese, was 2,447, of whom 1,089 were British; 527 Americans; 270 Germans, and 155 French. The Chinese population was returned at 3,800. The importance of the foreign element in the port may be gauged by the fact that they pay nearly 40% of the entire amount of business and income taxes collected in Yokohama, though they have no voice in the control of local affairs.
