YOKOHAMA
265
Yakohama chiefly subsists on its foreign trade, especially the valuable
■silk trade, which from the. time of the opening of the country has always
foeen handled at the port. The earthquake of 192.'! for a time disabled the port,
and the. silk trade was temperorarily transferred to "Kobe, but with the
rehabilitation of the northern port the trade hasl been in part recaptured.
The present degression in the silk trade,1 however, due partly to the
economic situation in the U.S.A. and partly to t,h$ competition of rayon, has
had a serious effect upon the port; fortunately it was offset to a great extent
by-the increase in other exports since the abandonment of the Gold Standard
by Japan.
Yokohama is administered by the Municipality, :
lighting and power plants, the eleotric tramways’
supplies.
