YOKOHAMA

265

Yokohama chiefly subsists on its foreign trade, especially the valuable silk trade, which from the time of the opening of the country has always been handled at the port. The earthquake of 1923 for a time disabled the port, and the silk trade was temperorarily transferred to Kobe, but with the rehabilitation of the northern port the trade has been in part recaptured.

.

The present depression in the silk trade, however, due partly to the economic situation in the U.S.A. and partly to the competition of rayon, has had a serious effect upon the port; fortunately it was offset to a great extent by the increase in other exports since the abandonment of the Gold Standard by Japan.

Yokohama is administered by the Municipality, which owns the electric lighting and power plants, the electric tramways and the gas and water supplies.
