KIUKIANG

minent buildings: the railway station and godowns, the electric-light power house,. the Yu Sung Match Factory, the Kiuhsing Spinning and Weaving Company's factory a large four-storied hotel, and the Kiukiang Customs Lights Repair Yard.

The idea which led to the opening of Kiukiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards 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 1926 was Hk. Tls. 56,034,253, as compared with Hk. Tls. 56,693,279 in 1925, and Hk. Tls. 64,616,143 in 1924. Kiukiang 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. Rice, beans and peas, hemp, indigo, paper, melon and sesamum seeds, and tobacco leaf are also important exports.
