“...525 gallons, value 39,0892., in 1904, showing a decrease in value of 16,8752. Leaf tobacco, which was imported to the extent of 9,872 cwts., value 15,8462., shows an increase of 3,9142. as compared with 1904. No prepared tobacco was imported in 1904, importations having gradually dwindled down to the value of 512. in 1904 and to zero in 1905. The reason assignable for this is due to the fact that the import of tobacco is, owing to the Tobacco Monopoly Law, now carried on by Government, which only imports leaf tobacco for the manufacture of prepared tobacco in Formosa. Under the heading of Japanese goods (vide Table I) 12 items show an increase, the chief of which are cotton piece-goods, fish, matches, railway materials, cigarettes and miscellaneous ; on the other hand eight items show a decrease, most conspicuously in sake and timber and planks. It is satisfactory to note that, whereas in 1904 there was, owing to the Kusso-Japanese war, the large dcficit in the total value of the import...”

“...about 3) tons per acre. Rice- There was a great increase in the export of rice, 786,520 cwts., value 227,9661., having been exported in 1905 against 323,183 cwts., value 101,335?., in 1904. The spring and autumn crops were average in quantity and large exports were made to Japan to supply the demand consequent on the bad Japanese harvest. The export of rice to Japan is considerably stimulated by the fact that there is a very heavy duty of 64 sen (Is. id.) per picul on foreign rice im- ported into Japan, from which, of course, Formosan rice is exempted. S:llt- The export of salt decreased from 594,274 cwts., value 72,901?., in 1904 to 448,219 cwts., value 10,491Z., in 1905, showing a decrease in value of 62,410£. The reason is largely attributable to a bad harvest, owing to the prevalence of much rain during the manu- facturing season.
