A Bad Year for the Industry _Statisties of the export of raw silk from Shangasi during 1920 give a good indication of the state of the trade throughout the year. All classes. show an export of 55,324 piculs, as against 93,891 piculs for 1919, a falling away which has meant that for almost months on end trade has been at a standstill. As a matter of fact this year has been a particularly bad one for silk, and the condition of affairs at its close could hardly be worse for the industry.
