This port (the name of which signifies grass and lakes," i.e., swamps) was opened to foreign trade, by the Chefoo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the Yangtsze, in the province of An-hwei, and is a
half-way" port between Chinkiang and Kiukiang, though nearer to the former. It has the appear- ance of a thriving and busy town, and is admirably located for trade. This is mainly owing to the excellence of its water communication with the interior. A large canal, with a depth of five to six feet of water in the winter and 10 to 12 feet in the summer, connects the port with the important city of Ning-kuoh-fu, in southern An-hwei 50 miles distant.

This canal, which is only navigable in the summer, passes through Nan-ling and King-hsien, where the cultivation of silk is carried on, and may some day be of importance. The silk districts of Nan-ling and King-hsien are situated within 50 miles of Wuhu. Besides the canals leading to Ning-kuoh-fu and Taiping-hsien, there are two others communicating with Su-an and Tung-pó.
Coal may some day become a considerable article of export from Wuhu, both native and foreign capital having been directed to the great coalfields of the province.

The Chin Kang Company, a wealthy native syndicate, have a Government permit to
