“...the Chinese is done in catties and piculs, and with the Japanese according to Japanese measures, a list of which is appended. Beans come down from the interior in bags, each of which weighs from 185 to 200 lbs. avoir. Bean cake is reckoned by the piece, the weight of which is nearly 60 lbs. Bean oil is sold by the picul and exported in old kerosene tins (each holding about 37 lbs.) and drums, and to China in paper-lined wicker crates. It has also been despatched to Europe in bulk. The South Manchuria Railway Company's statistics are made up in short tons.

“...Dairen and 16,639 in tonnage. Japanese ships, according to the customs returns, have decreased by 297 in number and 70,775 in tonnage. Norwegian and Chinese shipping both show a decrease; that of other countries is more or less stationary, with the exception of Germany, the shipping of which has increased in tonnage by 21,103 tons while in number it has decreased by 4. The following are the Japanese steamship services from the port:— Company.

“...linked by rail to the main line of the South Manchuria Eailway. Cigarettes.—No details are obtainable of the countries supplying cigarettes, the imports of which are rapidly increasing; but there is little doubt that the major share of the trade is in the hands of the British-American Tobacco Company, which more than holds its own in Manchuria against its Japanese rivals. Flour.—Flour and matches both show increases. In the case • of the first this was due to bad harvests in the north, which forced up the price of Harbin and Tiehling flour and resulted in heavy purchases from the United States, where the crop had been very good. Matches.—A shortage in 1910, owing to excessive purchases in 1909 and the closing of the Changchun factory for three months on account of the plague, account for the increased import of matches in 1911. Kerosene.—Kerosene oil is represented by Standard Oil products alone. The Asiatic Petroleum Company now works Manchuria through Newchwang, and, according to the...”

This was due to the fact that in South Manchuria, whence come the beans exported from Dairen, there was a full month of heavy rain in July. This resulted in floods which did great damage to the crop south of Tiehling. North of that town the rains were not so disastrous, and the harvest was in consequence only about 15 per cent, below the normal. Deliveries were also affected by the outbreak of the revolutionary movement, which frightened the farmers and prevented their bringing in their crops as quickly as usual. Prices for the last three months of the year, or the first three months of the 1911 season, were as follows :— It will be noticed from Annex 14 at the...”

South Manchuria Railway Company.—The company has electric light installation at four places along its line—Dairen, Mukden, Changchun and Antung. Receipts on account of electrical enterprises during 1911 were 68,669/., of which sum 19,322/. represent the earnings of the electric tramcar lines at Dairen. Gas receipts for the same period amounted to 11,006/. and hotel receipts to 25,792/. Hotels are said to be worked at a loss.

“...traffic. The gross receipts on account of goods and passenger traffic during the year were 1,714,456/., the number of passengers carried 2,586,455 and the goods handled 4,959,164 tons. The effects of the plague, though they were only temporary, can be appreciated from the fact that gross receipts fell from 230,000/. in January to little more than 130,000/. in February, and the number of passengers from 158,556 to 33,384. In March, when the disease had been more or less stamped out of South Manchuria and the severity of the preven- tive measures in consequence somewhat relaxed, an increase was again perceptible. Goods traffic does not seem to have been affected to the same extent. The above figures give only receipts; statistics of the disburse- ments for the same period are not available owing to the fact that the company's business year does not end till March 31. At the end of September, 1911, the company had, according to its accounts, outstanding debentures to the value of 12,000...”
