“...peninsula, and
more especially by Chumpawn. Apart from this the trade of the
eastern Monthons is almost entirely with Singapore. That of Puket
is with Penang.
Imports. Monthon Chumpawn.—Kailway material, of which large
consignments have been received during the year, does not appear
to have been reckoned among the imports, which remain much the
same in value as in 1911-12.
Monthon Nakon Sritamarat.—There is an increase in the value of
the imports of 36,100?., resulting from larger imports of railway
material and cotton goods and yarn. All the railway material and two-
thirds of the cotton import enter by the port of Senggora. The annual
value of the import trade of the two ports of Senggora and Nakon
Sritamarat is shown in the following table :—•

senggora.
Monthon Patani.—The value of the imports has risen by 2,5001.
Cotton goods and yarn are the principal articles of import.
Exports. Monthon Chnmpawn.—There is a falling-off of some
9,000£. in the exports as compared with 1911-12. The export of
fish and tin showed a steady increase in value, but the export of rice
and paddy was necessarily a small one, as owing to an epidemic of
rinderpest among the water-buffaloes, which extended right across the
peninsula to Pangnga, the area cultivated by the people was much
restricted.
Monthon Nakon Sritamarat.—The export figures went up by
nearly 46,000?., the increase being almost entirely due to a larger
rice export. The bulk of the rice and tin export goes from the port
of Nakon Sritamarat.
The following table shows the division of the export trade between
Senggora and Nakon Sritamarat:—
Port. 1910-11. 1911-12. 1912-13.
