THE CHINESE INDUSTRY, 1905. 



The business done in camphor in China, according to a Consular Report, 

 though large compared with previous years, fell short of general expectations. The 

 year 1905 opened under most favourable conditions ; there was a strong demand for 

 camphor on the European markets and prices ruled high, while locally it was possible 

 to procure the article at very profitable rates, which foreshadowed a large and 

 lucrative business. The monopoly, too, that had existed a couple of years previously 

 had been quashed, and the upcountry native dealers, relieved of this restriction, 

 threw themselves energetically into the manufacture and freely contracted to supply 

 foreign merchants at reasonable prices. A considerable number of contracts were 

 entered into in this manner. Unfortunately, however, this state of things was not 

 permitted to last. The officials soon interfered ; proclamations were put out closing 

 certain districts and forbidding the manufacture and sale of camphor by private 

 persons. This rendered the carrying out of the contracts entered into by native
