“...the port of Tientsin was :- Net trade. There is an increase of 2,675,501?. in imports and of 1,375,0372. in exports, making a total of 4,050,5382. In giving these figures as a true measure of the increase of the trade of Tientsin we must take into consideration the trade of Chinwangtao, and an important alteration made in the customs returns for the latter port. The value of the net trade of Chinwangtao during the year 1906 was:— Value. £ Imports 1,142,150 Exports 252,001 Total .... 1,394,151 (198) a 2 Value. £ Imports 14,983,542 Exports 3,592,082 Total 18,575,624 In 1905 the figures were as follows :— Value. £ Imports 12,308,041 Exports 2,217,045 Total 14,525,086...”

“...1905 (1,699 and 1,774,360 tons), there is an increase of 388 ships, with a tonnage of 637,119 tons. The flag which shows the most remarkable in- crease is the Japanese, which has jumped from 145 ships, with a tonnage of 105,531 ton3, in 1905, to 618 ships, with a tonnage of 706,944 tons, in 1906. This notable aggregate was, however, preceded by a large falling-ofE during the Russo-Japanese war, for, in 1903, Japanese shipping already amounted to 341 ships, Whereas, in 1905, it was given as :— Value. £ Imports 2,830,408 Exports 450,358 Total 3,286,766...”

“...decrease, and lastings a slight improvement, in the latter year. ; In cotton yarn the British makes have gone ahead slightly, and both Indian and Japanese fallen off considerably. i- ■ i Copper coins, " blanks," which appeared in the last customs returns as an import to the value of 37,668?., have disappeared entirely; and copper ingots and slabs have fallen from 411,720?. in 1905 to 104,028?. in 1906. One might suppose from this that the fury of coining copper money had passed, but such is not the case, and the two mints in Tientsin continue to turn out hundreds of thousands of copper pieces, no silver coins being regularly minted so far. i i-..v| In cigarettes there is a slight increase, the 1905 import being of a value of 152,359?., which in 1906 rose to 184,327?. This is an article of which the import direct from abroad is unlikely to increase. Foreign tobacco and cigarette-making machinery will to a great extent replace the import of cigarettes themselves. Several factories, owned both...”

“...229Z. and 141,258?. in 1906. These are products the demand for which is likely to grow, for the native is very much in favour of buying his cloth and dye separately, and applying the one to the other to suit his own taste and fancy. There is some increase in plate and window glass, the value GHass, plate in 1905 being 21,023?. and in 1906 39,575?. and window. The import of machinery is still relatively insignificant—in 1905 Machinery. 54,856?. and in 1906 58,806?. Machinery at present is almost exclusively used in such manufactories or industries as are controlled by foreigners, or which have been established by foreigners. Japanese matches have fallen off by .3,123,504 gross and 62,002?. Matches in value. (Japanese). The purchase of munitions of war lias dropped from 292,936i/. Munitions of in 1905 to 278,440?. in 1906. This is probably a temporary lull war- . merely, for large purchases will be needed if all the schemes for new army divisions be adopted.

“...TIENTSIN is mostly soft white pine from Japan, Canada and tlie United States, and is used almost exclusively for building purposes. The shipments from Japan have bsen the largest on record, supplying a shortage of Corean timber. Flour. Flour, mostly American, shows a great increase, the total reaching 266,055 cwts. (114,121/,) in 1906 as against 13,48± cwts. (7,033L) in 1905. Native Native imports as a whole have grown. Cigarettes, which imports. appeared for the first time in 1905 with a value of 41,198L, increased to 86,107L in 1906. The cigarettes are in great part foreign tobacco manufactured in China. Paper, pottery, satin and silk piece-goods have all increased. Brown sugar and tcbicco have fallen off considerably. Exports. Taken as a whole the total business done during 1906 com- pares favourably with the previous year. A decided increase has taken place in shipments of dog-skin mats, kid-skin crosses, Thibet lamb-skins and sheep's wool, although this is counter-, balanced to...”
