CHINKIANG

江鎮 Chin-Tráng

The port of Chinkiang, which was opened to trade by the Treaty of Tientsin, is situated on the south bank of the Yangtsze, about 150 miles from its mouth, and near the entrances of the southern and northern sections of the Grand Canal. This position gave it formerly great importance, and it was at one time believed that the port must eventually become a serious rival to Shanghai. But the neglect of the inland waterways, and especially of the Grand Canal, which is closed to steam traffic for some months during each year, either because the water is too shallow or because it has risen so much that the wash from launches would injure the embank- ments, is causing the trade to be gradually diverted to Hankow and Tsingtao. Now that the Tientsin-Pukow Railway is completed more of the trade is being diverted to Nanking. A railway from Kwachow, at the mouth of the Grand Canal on the north bank of the river, along the Canal to Tsingkiangp'u, is projected and may do something to save the situation, but there are 14 tax barriers along this route, and it remains to be seen whether this railway, if built, will not have the same difficulty with the likin officials as is now experienced by the Shanghai- Nanking Railway. The north bank opposite the Concession is being eroded rapidly, and a spit from the island of Chêng Jên Chou, to the west of the Concession, is extending rapidly north, south and east. Indeed, the steady deterioration of the harbour is rapidly threatening the existence of Chinkiang as a shipping port. Owing to this cause, it has been necessary to remove the last of the hulks which used to lie off the British Bund, and river steamers trading with the port are seriously inconvenienced both as regards passengers and cargo. The entrance to the southern section of the Grand Canal has become, in the words of the Harbour Master, "nothing but an evil-
