“...from New York on February 18 of the present year (1903). The change will, it is expected, result in a considerable reduction in the laying down cost of the oil. Flour was imported to the amount of 24,720 cwts. in quantity Flour, and 10,436/. in value, an increase of 279 cwts. in quantity and 589/. in value as compared with the import of 1901, and a large increase of 6,166 cwts. valued at 2,071/. over the average import of the previous five years. The flour imported is American, chiefly from the mills of the Sperry.Flour Company of San Francisco. Other imports call for little notice, with the exception of mats Other used for packing sugar; all imports from China show a decrease as lmPortl- compared with the average import for the previous five years, such decrease being principally due to the fact that articles from Japan which enter Formosa free of duty are rapidly supplanting the similar articles which used to be almost exclusively imported from China, but on which heavy customs duties are...”

“... and accept blank bills (no docu- ments attached). This allows exporters easier financing and at times accommodation bills. There are two sugar mills with steam power at present at work in this district, one, the Nakagawa Factory in Tainan, a private concern, subsidised by the Government-General, the other, the Formosa Sugar Factory, a registered company largely under Government control. In addition to these two Japanese factories, a native company was formed in the spring of last year (1902), with a capital of 200,000 dol. (about 15,600Z.) to work another sugar mill in the Tainan district. The mill, which comes from America and cost about 1,300?., will have a capacity of 5 tons of sugar per diem. The factory will be ready for work in the coming season, about November next. No foreign merchants have as yet invested any capital in sugar mills in South Formosa under the regulations promulgated by the Government-General on June 14, 1902, for the encouragement of the sugar industry, a translation...”

It is satisfactory to note that the three crushing mills in use at Mnclimerv, the factory as well as two out of the three engines are of British British, manufacture, and, I am informed, give every satisfaction. They were purchased for the company in Glasgow by the London agency of the Japanese firm of Mitsui Brothers. The export of rice in 1902 was about three-fifths that in 1901, Bice, and less than half the average export for the previous five years. This was due entirely to the failure of the rice crop of 1902, caused Shortage of by drought in the latter part...”

“...12 TAINAN. Rice mills. Openings for British machinery. Need for fuller information in catalogues supplied by British firms. Compared with catalogues of American firms. Comparison between British and American rice-hullera at present in use. The Government is paying serious attention to this question of irrigation, and farmers are being encouraged by subsidies to adopt more practical methods than those hitherto in use. There are two rice mills at work in the district, one in Takow and one in Anping, the capactiy of each being 20 tons a day of 10 working hours. The machinery was purchased in the United States of America. Both mills work satisfactorily, and it is likely, I am informed, that more mills of a similar kind will be erected in this district in the near future. In this connection, as well as in the matter of the requirements of sugar mills and irrigation machinery, there would seem to be an opening for the sale of British-made machinery.
