By the Sbunghai-Nanking Railway, an overland route ria Tientsin is open, while southwards, the Slinnghai-HangchowOüngpo Railway links up northern Chekiang. Shanghai is the great emporium of China, and as an exchange mart for commodities of all sorts, its position at the entrance of the Yangtze Valley gives to this port pre-eminence over all competitors.
The chief industrial concerns of Shanghai are cotton (pinning and weaving mills, silk lilatures, soap works, chemical works, extensive dock, engineering and ship-building works, paper and flour mills, tanneries, oil mills, match factories, tobacco factories, printing and lithographic works, and a Government arsenal. The Chinese population is probably over 1,000,000. (Finance and Commerce Year Book, 1922)
