KOWLOON DISTRICT TRADE

IN 1902.

In the recently published I. M. Customs. Trade Returns for 1902, the report relative to the Kowloon District is of particular interest to the Colony. Though the report still bears the name of what is now, to all intents and purposes, British territory, it really refers 20.00 to the district situated just beyond

This change of control did away with different privileges granted to certain, imports and exports, | formerly carried by junks but which are now transported in foreign bottoms.
