· CANTON,

Of the three great causes that have affected the trade of the year, writes Commissioner Woodruff in his report for 1890, one-though not local-is do important that it may be, mentioned at the outset. The fluctuations to the relative values of silver and gold have been excessive. Exchange (telegraphic" transfer), beginning at 35.1fd. and never falling below 3s. old., rose—at first haltingly, at the end rapidly- to 38. 99d. in August, sank to 31. 31d. in November, and rose again to 3s. 48d at the close of the year.

Matting has been put on the free, list in the McKinley tariff; but, on the other hand, during the year it was found that the duty lesally paid in the Tungkun district was incorrectly charged, and the tariff rate has since been levied. The dought has damaged the later and bener cuttings of straw.

The chief mer chants have been for some time objecting to do business under the present collector of the Battery Tax, who is a rival, The duty in the United States has been increased. Sugar of all kinda was much in excess of 1889. Cassia lignes has further declined, the transfer of the steamers' share of the trade to the junks being nearly complete. One cargo, chiefly tea and refuse silk, valued in all at Tis. 35,000, was I shipped by steamer to London; all the rest, valued at Tis: 14,850,000, was sent to Hongkong for distribution. The Consul for the United States. Mr, Seymour, kindly informs me that, of the total export by steamer and junk, goods valued at nearly $5,000,000 were certified in that country in 1890, against a little over $4,000,000 and $3,000,000 respectively in 1889 and 1888. The quantities, however, have pro- bably not increased equally with the values,

The total value of the foreign goods re-exported to foreign countries, including Hongkong, was only Tis, 23,000. From the character and amounts of the items they are apparently articles occasionally returned in the course of business, and not a regular traffic.

A second cause has been the changes in Original Shipments Conïtwise.—The exports taxation. An additional charge an opium, for to the three northern ports were valued at preventive expenses, was contemplated by the T. 1,110,000, an increase of Tis, 300,000; to provincial authorities at the end of May, but the central ports, Tls. 1,500,000, about the same never enforced, and had no permanent effort on

MINING PROSPECTS IN PAHANG.

In his Report for 1890 Mr. Clifford, British Resident at Pahang, writes:-

As in former years, a report on the mines of Pahang is to all intents and purposes, equivalent to a report on the various mining concessions which practically cover all the available auri-

ferous and stanniferous territory in the State.

Although vast tracts of country held under these concessions still remain absolutely un- touched, and though other tracts of almost equal extant have only been prospected in a most cursory and inadequate maoner, still more solid results have been obtained during the year under review than has previously been the carb. In fact, this year may be regarded as the first in which Pahang has heen proved by Europeans to contain mineral resources la any way sufficient to justify the reputation of a rich mineral-bearing country which it has obtained among the natives of the Malay Peninsula..

The mine at Raub, which is the property of the Raub Australian Syndicate, leads the way as the foremost gold loc in Pahang, and though as yet it has only produced about 1,500 ounces of gold, it has given sufficient Indications to encourage the belief that it is likely to become a successful and remunerative mine.

3.

In Bentong, good work has been done, fin mines worked by Chinese labour being opened or carried on at both Chamang and Ferting, considerable quantity of tin ore having been exported.

The Kichau Company's gold mine at Bukit Siam produced some extraordinarily rich stone towards the end of the year, on one occasion 53 ounces of gold being obtained from 48 lbs. of quartz. Pockets of this nature cannot, of course, he expected to recur frequently, but there sill seem grounds for believing that good paying stone exists in that locality in considerable quantities,

The third cause has been the weather. The

The total collection of revenue, Tls. 2,329,499.3.1.1, is Tis, 69 000 less than in 1889, In which year it was Tis. 110,000 less than In 1888. There was an increase the first half of the year, and decrease in the last two quarters. The loss is divided nearly equally between the opium levfes and export duties, the duty on imports other than oplum exceeding very considerably the other years of the last ten. The duties being mainly specific, changes in the quantities rather than in the values are indicated. Imports, generally (excluding eplum), have increased considerably. Piece goods, both cotton and woollen, show marked gain as does yarn, chiefly Indian. The increase is generally a true gain and not a transfer to Kowloon and Lappa, In the yard trade there have been special troubles connected with long credits and Inferior quality; over co per cent, was forwarded under transit pass. Among sundries, flour and matches have increased. Of the large importation of kerosene into this district, nearly all comes by Junk, so does not appear in our returns. All but some Tis. 50,000 worth of the goods came from Hongkong.

During the first four months dealers in silk were occupied in the delivery of the heavy con- tracts placed in re-reels for America at the end of 1889. The demand for Europe was moderate, and pifces declined-Tsatlees to the extent, of $50 per picul, Filatures $50 to $90 per pleut,

The new sentons opened In May, with light stocks of old silks and lower rates than at last year's opening; but reports of short crops, locally and at Shanghal, soon tended to an advance, which the rise in exchange opposed. Between the two the trade was demoralised, and, although an advance of $15 to $20 was obtained in July, the market sgain took a downward turn, and in September prices stood $20 to $15 below opening rates,

Easter exchange and steady foqulry once more advanced rates, $70 on Tanillees and $50 on Filatures; but in November exchange again sose, and the year closed with irregular and slowly declining prices.

From May to the class of the only 265 plculs of re-reels were sent to America, against 3,800 picule duing the same period in, 1989; and the markets there and in Europe have been in a disturbed state. The total foreign export was 17,534 picula, a decrease of 1,849 picais. Of Taktices 1,200 bales and of Filatures 3,000 bales were carried over, against stacks of 1,0co bales and to bales respectively at the beginning of the As to tea, of Congou 2,500,000 lb. were sent, against 3,330,000 lb. in 7580, First where sent were made by the steamer sailing on the 20th March.

There has also, I understand, been a considerable increase, for the year, of foreign rice coming by junk.

INLAND TRANSIT.-(a) Inwards.--Arrange. ments for the issue of passes were made in 1882. In 1883, two were issued for kerosene; in 1887,

for cotton thread and sugar; and in 1888, 4 for thrend, etc. In 1890 there were ng pasETS, covering 10.40 pfculs of Indian yarn, besides sundries, destined for places in Kwangtung; Kwangsi, and Klangai. The revival is attributed to the new taxes and a dread that if prices at the destinations in the interior are not kept down there will be competition by way of Haiphong.

(b) Outwards-Arrangements were made in 1982, but no passes were issued until 1886, when there were ja, for cassla lignes and Sun- dries, from Kwangel and Kwangtung. In 1887,

3 pisses were issued; and since then, none.

SHIPPING The tonnage was greater than in any of the last 10 years. Taking the entries (1 488,349 tons) only, for euse in calculating, the Hongkong and Macao privileged river steamers supplied 76 per cent. (1,138,116 tons), 64 per cent. heing British and iz per cent. Chinese; there were seven steamers, against six the year before, the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company's steamship Kianghwan having been ent on the Hongkong line on the 29th March, Foreign ocean-going steamers supplied 17 per cent., divided between the British and German flags: Chinese steamers supplied, additionally, under 6 per cent, sailing vessels under 2 per cent. The quarterly average of sea-golog vessels between 50,oro and 60,000 tons, was Increased in the fourth quarter to over 90,000 tons, owing, chiefly, to the rice steamers.
