KEWKIANG

£35

The idea which led to the opening of Kewkiang was, no doubt, its situation as regdars communication by water with the districts where tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting the port have never been wholly realised, Hankow having become the market for black teas. The general trade of the port, however, has in- creased considerably in recent years, a large development of inland steam navigation in the Poyang Lake contributing to this result. Its now completed connection by rail with the provincial capital, Nanchang, may further improve matters. The net value of the trade of the port for the year 1918 was Hk. 40,043,930 as compared with Hk. Tls. 41,936,034 in 1917, Hk. Tls. 42,406,996 in 1916, and Hk. Tls. 39,278,120 in 1915. Kewkiang is the port whence the ware made at the far-famed porcelain factories at Kin-tê-chên is shipped. The specimens sent to the Paris Exhibition in 1900 secured a silver medal, in competition with European porcelain. Beans and peas, hemp, indigo, paper, melon and sesamum seeds, and tobacco leaf are also important exports.
