(Canton, July 6, 190i; received at Foreign Office, August 13, 1904.) The trade of Canton in 1903, as reported in the returns of the Total trade, Imperial Maritime Customs, shows a remarkable increase on that vcar a of 1902, which was a record year.

In accordance with Article 6 of the Final Protocol of 1901 the native customs stations within 17 miles (50 li) of the port are being brought under the control of the Imperial Maritime Customs, and the change has driven many, w r ho found it to their interest to freight native junks, to transfer their goods to steamers ; and it must be borne in mind that there is still a large trade by native craft plying between Canton, Hong-Kong and Macao, which does not appear in the customs returns, and with the equality of treatment introduced by the Imperial Maritime Customs, it is probable that more and more of this trade will gravitate to steamers and swell the published figures. In an examination of the trade of Canton it is necessary to take some account of the statistics published by the Imperial Maritime Customs of Lappa, Kowloon, Samshui, Kongmoon and Kumchuk, none of which form the subject of a separate Consular report. The total values reported from these five stations are : Year. Exchange at Value. Currency. Sterling.

The total steam tonnage entered was 2,589,900 tons, an increase Shipping, of 450,000 tons, or 21 per cent., over that of 1902. The British share Steamers, of this was 1,921,130 tons, an advance of 250,000 tons, or 15 per cent., over the record of the previous year. Excluding Chinese steamers, the following percentages represent the shares of the principal flags in the foreign steam shipping of the port : Percentages. Shares of principal flags. Flags.

Two large new river steamers in place of two small ones account for the advance of French steam tonnage in the returns. The British sail tonnage entered was only 804 tons out of a total Sailing of 18,889 tons. Ves8els> The navigation of inland waters by steam launches and small inland steamers continues to increase. Of the total foreign tonnage entered navl g atlon - in 1903, 70 per cent, was British and 27 per cent. French. Most of the British launches are owned by Hong-Kong Chinese, who form companies under the Hong-Kong ordinances. (582) 6 CANTON. Foreign Foreign imports have advanced with the general increase of the imports. trade ; 98 per cent, of them arrived through Hong-Kong, which is really the deep-water port of Canton. The improved demand is partly due to the high prices ruling for materials of native make, which have forced consumers to seek cheaper substitutes from abroad : Year. I ' Value. Currency. Sterling.

The large increases in grey shirtings, T-cloths, British drills, chintzes, &c., result in great measure from the higher cost of native fabrics (due to higher wages and higher cost of living generally) which has stimulated imports. The percentages are : Percentage. Average, Five Years 1902. 1C03. 1898-11102.

Lenos, which formerly CANTON. came byjunk from Hong-Kong, are now imported by steamer. Cotton flannel is displacing the Japanese article to some extent owing to lower cost. Indian yarn still advances because of its comparative cheapness. Here again the increased importation of opium is attributable to P lum - the high price of the native drug ruling in 1903. There is an increased demand for fancy buttons, clocks, um- eneial brellas and foreign fancy goods. Cement is largely used in con- m nection with new works in and around Canton, and especially on the new railway. Cigarettes and cigars are pushed by the British and American Tobacco Company with some success. The increased number of steam filatures, steam launches, &c., requiring coal must stimulate the import. There is a small decrease in the figures for foreign flour, but I am assured that this must be accidental ; the demand is steadily increasing. Indiarubber shoes have rapidly come into favour with the lower Indiarubber classes. The figures for the last five years are : shoes. Year.

The American oil seems to hold its position in spite of the geographical advantages of the Sumatra wells. Foreign unsized and uncalendered paper has practically taken Paper, the place of the native article on account of its cheapness. Here again the rise in wages and local cost of living has made the manu- facture of native paper unprofitable. The import is chiefly German and Austro-Hungarian. I am informed that the substantial increase in wines and spirits Wines and is partly due to the use of foreign liquors by the well-to-do Cantonese. 8 P irlts - There is a substantial increase in the export figures, due in part Total exports, to certain goods, which were formerly exported by native craft, being now shipped by steamer.

Prices were then high, and for the sake of comparison I quote the below standard grades on January 1, 1903 : No. 1 filature, 9 to 1 1 deniers . . 11 13 , t .. 13 15 .. Best No. 3 filature, 11 to 13 deniers Price per Pici:l. Dollars. 1,150 1,120 1,080 945 CANTON. 9 "At that time exchange ruled at about 2-05 fr. for six-month Paris drafts, and Is. 7%d. for six-month London credits. " By the end of March prices had receded about 50 dol. per picul, exchange remaining stationary. Business revived, however, in the first week of May and prices improved 25 dol. per picul. " The early crops proved to be of average quantity and quality, and the market remained practically unchanged with a fair regular demand until about July 15, when, exchange rising, the dollar price of silks was forced down proportionately. On August 8, with exchange at 2-31 fr. for six-month Paris drafts, and Is. lOd. for six-month London credits, standard quotations were : No. 1 filature, 9 to 1 1 deniers . . 11 13 13 15 Best No. 3 filature, 11 to 13 deniers Price per Picul. Dollars. 990 930 880 860 On September 5 the dollar prices remained unchanged, but the ris3 of 'exchange to 2-42 fr. and Is. lid. for six-month drafts on Paris and London respectively shows that the situation at home was slightly improved. " From September to the end of the year exchange fell gradually and dollar prices also receded, recording an unmistakable collapse in both European and American home trade, and on the last day of the year the standard quotations were : Price per Picul. Dollars. No. 1 filature, 9 to 11 deniers . . . . 930 11 13 900 13 15 ' 875 Best No. 3 filature, 11 to 13 deniers . . 810 "Combined with exchange at 2 '21 fr. for six-month Paris drafts, and Is. 9Jrf. for six-month London credits. " Thus the year 1903, closing as it did with lower lay-down cost prices at home of raw silk, must have proved more or less unre- munerative to exporters and to the trade generally. " Waste silk. A general good demand existed for all wastes during 1903, and prices fluctuated more or less in sympathy with the raw silk market and the rates of exchange." 10 CANTON. Tea. Cassia. Chiimvare. Fans and fire crackers. Glass bangles Human hair. Jade.-tjne ware. Shoos n nd boots. Sugar. Tobacco. Railways. A British tea merchant has very kindly supplied me with the following observations on the tea season of 1903 : " For the first time for many years the export of tea has not fallen below that of the preceding year. During 1903 the quality of scented caper (the principal branch of the trade) was extremely poor, and in spite of the very high prices ruling throughout the season, the quantity was barely enough to meet the demand. The shrinkage is attributed to the steadily diminishing demand in England (the only country where this kind of tea has ever been used), preference being given to Ceylon growths. Scented orange pekoes have almost entirely gone out of consumption, the export being one-sixteenth part of that of 1893. The same may be said of Congous. Kooloo alone seems to have maintained its position. This branch of the trade is almost entirely in the hands of Chinese, who ship it to places where their own nationals dwell." The crop of cassia was fair and demand good, but the increased figures are no doubt partly attributable to the transference of shipments from junks to steamers. The foreign trade in chinaware was really slightly below the figures of 1902, owing to higher prime cost and to the difficulty of obtaining supplies from the potteries in the first half of the year. However, the returns do not properly represent this export, because the bulk of Chinese cargo, which is largely for Asiatic countries, is shipped in native craft. The demand largely responsible for the increased export of eggs comes from Manila. The bulk of fans and fire-crackers were formerly shipped by junk, now by steamer. The demand for glass bangles conies from Bombay and Asiatic markets. I understand that the increased demand for human hair has come from France and Germany. A little goes to the United Kingdom and the United States. Peking and North China are responsible for the advance in the export of jadestone ware. The principal market for Canton mattings is America, and the 1903 season is one of the largest on record. Prices ruled high and qualities fell in consequence ; organised labour troubles at Lin tan. where the best grades are made, affected the trade very prejudicially and brought serious complaints from foreign purchasers. There is a large demand for shoes and boots from Indo-China. The shortage in brown sugar is due to a small demand from Japan. As regards cane sugar, good prices ruled in North China, and the market was better in consequence. The figures given do not represent the real tobacco export. The bulk was shipped by junk, and there was really a larger export in 1903 than in 1902. Little progress has been made with the railway concessions which were granted four to five years ago.
