“...oil. With regard to
the large share taken by Japan, however, it should be borne in mind
that many articles from foreign countries (such as flour from the United
States) are sent to Kobe, whence they are transhipped to Dairen
and are included under the heading of imports from Japan.
Imports from native ports.—Imports from native ports amounted
to 1,190,830?., of which 502,384?. was represented by foreign goods.
The balance of 688,446?. represents imports of native produce, chiefly
from Antung, Chefoo and Shanghai. The following are the items
of chief interest:—
Cotton goods— Pieces. £
Sheetings
Native cloth...
Striped cotton cloth

from Chefoo and timber from Antung. About 20 per cent, of the native
produce imported during the year was re-exported to other countries.
Cotton goods.—In the piece-goods trade the Japanese continue
to hold their own, and owing to the rise in the standard of living
which has been taking place in Manchuria lately are obtaining a good
market for the products of their looms. Shirtings and sheetings
of better quality are still imported to some extent from the United
Kingdom and the United States, but with the exception of jeans an
overwhelming 'proportion of the imports of piece-goods comes from
Japan. Owing to the low price of her productions the latter country
is 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...”

Re-exports.—Re-exports of articles imported from foreign countries
showed an increase of close upon 200,000?. The principal articles
are cotton piece-goods from Japan, which are being sent in increasing
quantities to the various ports in the Yellow Sea, such as Chefoo,
Tientsin, Antung, &c.
Re-exports of native goods (chiefly articles imported from Shanghai,
Chefoo and Antung) also showed an increase of over 100,000?., being
nearly five times as large as in 1911.
Shipping.—The total number of vessels (steam) entered at the
port during 1912 was 1,820, with a total tonnage of 1,811,120 tons,

“...vessels, with a total tonnage of 179,898 tons, a decrease of 10 vessels
but an increase in tonnage of 11,769 tons. The vessels of the Hamburg-
American Line on the Far Eastern service usually call at Dairen
about once a month, taking cargo for Antwerp, Hamburg, &c. The
same company has also a weekly service from Shanghai to Dairen
(to Tientsin fortnightly) via Tsingtao. During the winter months,
owing to the closing of Tientsin, Dairen is the terminal port of the
service, and the vessels call at Chefoo in addition to Tsingtao. The
Rickmers Siberian Line also calls at Dairen once a month on the way
to Vladivostok.
Vessels registered in the leased territory.—In connection with
the subject of shipping mention should also be made of the remarkable
increase in the number of vessels registered at Dairen during the latter
part of the year. Detailed regulations for the registration, &c., of
vessels in the leased territory came into force on January 1,
1912, and up to the end of January, 1913, no fewer...”
