“...Wuehovj and Nanning for the Year 1913 By Mr, Acting Consul W. J. B. Fletcher. Introductory. Wuchow.—Wuchow is a town of some 40,000 native inhabitants, situated on the junction of the Fu River, which carries trade to Kweilin, and of the West River, which by its numerous tributaries connects the interior of Kwangsi, Yunnan and Kweichow provinces with Canton and Hong-Kong. Wuchow has no important local products, and is entirely a trans- shipping centre from the larger steamers running to Hong-Kong and Canton into the shallow draught motor boats which ply above Wuchow. There aire 5 resident British firms, and 74 foreign residents, of whom 43 are British and 18 are Americans. Nanning.—Nanning is said to have a town population of 87,600, with 677,000 for the prefecture. The population of Kwangsi province is assessed at 8,000,000, most of whom are poor agriculturists. There are at Nanning 45 foreigners (of whom 30 are French). Most of the foreign firms at Wuchow have agencies at Nanning. Liuchow...”

The greater part of this trade consists of the export of rice, and fluctuates with the harvest obtained. The Kwangtung transit pass trade, amounting to 68,619/. from Can- ton and 7,468?. from Samshui, comprises foreign goods, chiefly kerosene. The amount of salt imported was about 539,590 cwts. The value of salt in Kwangsi is about 3 taels per picul as against some 20 c. per picul at the place of production, which is a great "inducement to smuggling. Foreign imports.—The value of foreign imports was 1,707,565?. as compared with 1,592,191?. in 1912. The share of Nanning in 1913 was 492,395?., of which a little over one-half was classed...”

“...consequence. Considerable losses have been experienced by the theft of oil en route by native junks which may cause the companies to build their own transports. Prospects for 1914 are good ; storage capacity having been increased both at "VVuchow and Nanning. Cigarettes.—Owing to extensive advertising by travelling agents and by the free distribution of calendars, posters and pictures in combined Chinese and English language and style, considerable increase of trade is being steadily built up. While sales of higher grade cigarettes are improving, a cheap cigarette of medium strength to retail at 2 or 3 c. per packet of 20 cigarettes is in greatest demand. Cigarette papers.—The value of this import, which comes from Austria-Hungary, at Nanning alone was 4,572Z. Soap.—The import of laundry soap amounts to 1,000 cases of 72 bars of 8 ozs. each per month, selling at about 5 dol. per case. Of this article about 90 per cent, is of British origin. Of toilet soap some 200 cases, each of 1 gross...”

“...198,5352. In the inward trade 242,959 passes were issued, chiefly for Kweichow province. At Nanning the figures were 73,7712. for imports and 133,8812. for exports. From Nanning imports are sent mostly into Yunnan; exports originate in Kwangsi. This business is capable of considerable expan- sion could security from robbery in transit be assured. Shipping.—A large increase in steam shipping, especially under the Chinese flag, is to be noted. A new steamer has come upon the Wuchow-Hong-Kong run, and seven additions have been made to the inland waters vessels, and more are to be expected. There are now several motor boats running between Wuchow and Liuchow. An interesting attempt to find a suitable type of motor tug to tow cargo boats to Kweilin is being made. Competition, especially on the Wuchow-Nanning run, is very keen, passenger rates falling heavily, but the vessels plying above Nanning to Pose and Lungchow are doing well, both freight and passengers having increased.

Educated Eurasians would probably make the best travellers. The conspicuous success of firms using these methods is well known. The value of Wuchow trade with Hong-Kong was 2,131,909/. My acknowledgments are due to the Commissioners of Customs at Wuchow and Nanning for early access to the returns of trade, and also to those gentlemen who have kindly supplied information for this report.
