30,000,000 in 1887,-those of 1886, the maximum year, having been Hk. Tis. 34.500,000. Thus, whereas, when 1889 is compared with 1888, the falling off is, as regards quantity, 12 per cent. for black and green teas and 23 per cent, for brick teas, the falling off in the total value is no more than 7 per cent.; but it the experts are to be credited, the end of the decline has not yet been reached. Silk, which quite China at two ports mainly, Shanghai and Canton, did well in 1889. Of white raw silk the export of 1899 amounted to 65.517 picals, against 54.704 picofs in 1888, 59,589 piculs in 1887, and 56,682 piculs in 1886; of wild raw silk in 1889, the export was 17,827 piculs, against 13.129 plculs in 1888 12,041 piculs in 1897, and 12,554 piculs in 1886. Ten years back a year's average export of Wild Raw Silk was 4.500 piculs. The total of the export of Silk of all kinda, unmanufactured and manufactured together, was Hk. Tis. 39.400,000, against Hk. Tla. 32,203,000 in 1888, a gain of 13 per cent. Thus it is clear that in 1889 what waS lost over the shorl exoort of Tea was more than recouped in the larger export of Silk, from But though the point of view of value. Silk and Tea together yield Hk. Tis 64,600,000, or 67 per cent., of a total of the value of all the Exports of China to foreign coun- tries, there are other products also which have asserted themselves in the markets of the world and are developing a trade of large proportions, One of these, Raw Cotton, which as recently as 1867 was thought to prosper with a total export of 69,000 pients, valued at HE.Tis. 678,000, reached in 1889 3 total of 504,000 piculs, valued at Hk. Tis. 5,000,000-nearly all having gone to Japan to supply the mills there. I am indebted to the Shanghai Commissioner's Report for the Information that rocoo piculs also were shipped to Liverpool; and it has to be borne in mind that great as the export was it would have been even greater if the crop of 1889 had had an ordinary autumn and had escaped the 40 days of continuous rain which, beginning on the 17th September, spread havocover the Cotton-growing provinces from east to west at the time when dry weather was to be expected and was nearly indispensable for the ripening and ingathering of the most promising crop of late years. The export of Sugar, too, valued at Hk. Tis, 2,700,000, largely sought a market in Japan, but some also went to Europe. The trade in Wool, both Sheep's and Camels', has grown creditably of recent years, from 4.500 piculs in 1880 to 43,000 piculs in 1885 and to 102,000 piculs in 1839. Even Tobacco pushes its way, since from 19,000 piculs in 1880 it mounted up to 24,000 piculs in 1885, and in 1889 reached a total of 69,570 piculs. In short, if the Tea from China has been beaten back from its old commanding position in the markets of the world, it is abundantly clear that for this warlare the resources of the soil and the ability of the people of China have many other products ready to fill the gap thus made in the ranks of her industrial constituents.
