“...at the time of importing the goods, and that as the territory is a " duty
free " area it is not necessary to check these statements for customs
purposes, with the result that the figures must be taken as approximate
only.

during the years 1911 and 1912 :—

DAIREN.
The above figures, which show an increase in the net value of
the trade of the port during the year under review of close upon
900,000?. as compared with the preceding year, are somewhat mislead-
ing, as the customs returns, in which the values are given in Haikwan
(customs) taels, actually show a decrease in the net value of the year's
trade of 1,537,793 taels. This is accounted for by the fact that the
equivalent in sterling of the Haikwan tael at the average sight exchange
on London during 1912 was, owing to the exceptionally high price
of silver prevailing during the latter part of the year, much higher
than in 1911, and that the figures for each year in the above table
have been converted into sterling at the average rate for that year,
viz., 2s. 8J<2. in 1911 as compared with 3s. 0jjc?. in 1912. This should
also be borne in mind in referring to the tables of imports and exports
at the end of this report.

“...able to rule the market, as the Chinese are not as a rule particular
as to the quality of the goods they purchase.
Cotton yam.—Imports of cotton yarn from Japan show an increase
of 1,250,000 lbs. in quantity and 48,000Z. in value.
Metals.—The imports of metals deserve no special mention, having
been normal during the year under review.
Flour.—The very noticeable increase in the import of flour (nearly
four times as much as in 1911) is attributable to the inability of the
mills at Harbin and Tiehling to meet the rising demand owing to bad
harvests in 1911 and to the consequent importation of considerable
quantities of American flour, principally from Kobe, at which port
it is transhipped.
Rice.—The import of rice shows a decrease in quantity but an
increase in value over 1911. Of 14,115 tons imported during the year
13,353 tons, valued at 222,866?., came from Corea.
Cigarettes.—The import of cigarettes shows a slight decrease,
due to an increase in the output of the factories belonging...”

DAIREN.
Goods forwarded to the interior by rail.—Of the net imports into
Dairen goods to the value of 3,392,694/., or just over 70 per cent.,
were forwarded to the interior by rail. These figures show an increase
over those for the year 1911 of 971,972/., principally in cotton goods,
metals, flour, rice and kerosene oil.
Exports.—The value of exports in 1912 decreased by 124,485/. The
principal articles showing a decrease were beans (260,000/.), bean cake
(67,000/.), and raw silk (69,000/.) ; the export of coal and millet,
on the other hand, increased by 175,000/. and 75,000/. respectively.
Exports to foreign countries.—The total value of produce of local
origin exported to foreign countries was 3,020,818/., a decrease of
205,066/. as compared with 1911.
Of the total exports of native goods to foreign countries—3,135,928/.
(including re-exports)—Japan's share was just over 81J per cent.
Belgium was next with a little more than 7J per cent., followed by
Hong-Kong with about 3J per...”
