appreciated in turn vis-a-vis sterling, European moneys in general, the United States dollar, and the Japanese yen. The rate of Hongkong dollars in Canton silver money rose from Canton $1.50 in January to $1.30 in September, closing in December at about $1,368. The average T. T. rate between Hongkong and Shanghai was Shanghai $112 3/16 per Hongkong $100; and the average Hong- kong dollar T.T. rates for foreign currencies were: sterling, 1s. 6 3/16d; French francs, 581 3/8; U.S. dollars, 38 3/16; and yen, 128 1/8. The 41 per cent. increase in the not very significant export statistics was due chiefly to the reversion of the Swabue station to the control of the Kowloon Commissioner and the consequent inclusion of the shipments from that district in the returns for Kowloon. The trade of the Colony of Hongkong declined still further during the year under review, the value of imports, including cargoes originating in China, being declared at $415.9 million, as against $500.9 million in 1933, $624 million in 1932, and $737.7 million in 1931; while the declared value of exports was $325.1 million, as against $403.1 million in 1933, $471.9 million in 1932, and 542 million in 1931.
