Exports in which the foreign merchant has, however, but little interest, account mainly for the improve- ment, the imports showing but a slight advance. "Whilst the total value of the trade was 62,000/. short of that of 1899—the record year—the revenue was slightly higher, this apparent anomaly being due to the increased amount derived from duty on transit passes covering goods to and from the interior. Nearly the whole of the trade was with foreign countries (Hong-Kong and Macao), the coast trade amounting to less than 20,000/. The total value of imports was 235,900/., against 228,600/. in Imports 1900, of which foreign goods represented...”

Native Native produce, which consisted almost entirely of liquid imports. indigo, was imported to the value of 6,300/., a slight increase on last year. The transfer of the native customs to the Imperial Maritime Customs and the consequent uniformity in the rates of duty levied may possibly bring an improvement in this branch of trade, the interest in which is, however, mainly confined to the shipping companies. Exports. The expansion in the exports, recorded in my last report, continued this year, the total value rising from 126,900/. to 149,700/. The increase was fairly evenly distributed over all the leading items, which were:—Fire-crackers, 50,600/.; paper, 37,600/.; tobacco, 15,900/.; native cloth, 9,700/.; straw bags, 8,800/.

It should, how- ever, be borne in mind that the above figures refer to steamer- borne cargo only, and do not by any means represent the whole trade. A considerable number of sea-going junks visit Kong- moon, and a great quantity of ordinary river boats trade with all four, the value of whose cargo must be far greater than that of steamers. 98 per cent, of the trade was with Hong-Kong.
