In spite of unsettled conditions owing to

repeated Japanese air raids, etc., steamers continue to

secure moderate cargoes from Pakhoi. Nothing doing at

Hoihow which remains a "closed" port, though steamers are

calling to show the "flag".

No change in Canton River;

foreign tonnage is

precluded from general trading though the Japanese are

reported to be bringing in considerable quantities of

rice, etc., by vessels allegedly transports and other

craft.
