Cotton goods.The import of cotton goods, which form the bulk of the foreign imports, shows a considerable decrease in almost every article, with the exception of shirtings, drills and jeans. The prices realised for cotton goods for the first half of the year scarcely did more than cover their cost, but during the autumn and winter months better prices were obtained. The fall in the value of silver has given a great impetus to the import of Japanese cottons, which appear to be obtaining a hold in this market. The proximity of Japan to China and the saving of freights consequent thereon as compared with those from foreign countries also helps them, and a further reason for all kinds of Japanese goods being sent in greater quantities than usual was the boycott in Hong-Kong and the south of China, which compelled merchants to get rid of their stocks elsewhere.

The European and American markets were depressed throughout the year, and as manufacturers were eager to sell owing to the abnormal production, this tended to keep prices down. Cocoons.The cocoon crop was larger than usual and early arrivals were plentiful, but the cocoons did not give the average yield of silk, doubtless on account of the great amount of rain which fell in the pro- ducing districts on the coasts. Later arrivals from the interior showed considerable improvement. Pongees.Owing to the depreciation of silver the year 1908 proved -a very successful one from the point of view of both foreign and native merchants. The quality of pongee has improved greatly during the past few years, and it is rapidly increasing in favour in foreign markets. Altogether 6,772 cwts. were exported, which is the highest figure for the last 10 years, with the exception of 1903, when a greater weight, but of less value, was shipped. Prices ruled...”
