THE CITY OF SHANGHAI-The project of a
line of mail steamers between San Francisco
and Shanghai in China, meets with much favor
in Congress, and opinions have been freely ex-
pressed that, after the Collins line, it is the most
likely of all the schemes before Congress to OBJ
tain congressional aid.
What and where is Shanghai becomes, then,
question of much interest A letter dated in
that city, which we find in the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser, helps US to satisfy this curiosity in
some essential particulars.
Shanghai is one of the five ports of China
which were opened to the commerce offoreign
nations by the British treaty with China, Of Au
gust, 1912. The other four ports are Canton.
Annoy, Fuchau Flu and Nngpo. Shanghai is the
most northerly of these ports, situated on the
Woosung river, near the mouth of the Yang.
stzekang one Of the largest rivers in Asia,
navigable for junks Of large size for nearly
three thousand miles. On this river are the cities
of Nankirg, Suchan, and other large cities.
The population of Shanghai is said to be at least
100000, and within sixty or seventy miles is
Suchan, which ia reputed to contain 2,00O,-
600 of inhbitants; and further up Nank
|,ing, which at least doubles that of Suchan. At
some of these internal cities, thousand miles
from the sea, six or eight thousand junks are
employed, startling proof of the vast extent
of the inland traffic Six thousand come down
the river annually to Shanghai, and thousands
more from the southern provinces.
In geographical situation, and in the extent
of its inland communications, Shanghai has
strong resemblance to New Orleans while
its back country unlike ours, is thickly set.
tied and densely inhabited. Shanghai is the
nearest to the green tea districts, and is expected
to be the principal exporting port of the green
teas
Since the opening of the port in 1912, bust
ness has sprung up and expanded with rapidty
only equaled in new ports in America and those
who have been there prophecy for it growth
SURPRISING Canton. This expectation is encoura
ged by the greater freedom enjoyed there, and
the pleasantness and healhiness of the climate.
There are scarcely any restraints upon foreigners,
and the disposition of the natives is friendly;
while the reverse obtains to an extreme de.
gree in Canton. Three fourths of the year
are pleasantly cool the summer indeed is OPP
Excessively hot, but it does not last long, and
autumn is invigorating. The country is open
for exercise, and agreeable drives and promen-
aides.
This is highly favorable picture of the advan-
tages that may be gained to Americans, by open
no regular commercial intercourse with this
city, and the vast territory and millions ofpeople
o whom it offers the gate Of access and in the
vista ola future for New Orleans, the minds eye
Ian see all these elements of wealth brought,
~ the establishment of these lines, and the
ompe.ion of the Tehuantepec road,within a few
weeks travel from our own doors.
