It should also be noted that foreign goods to the value of 14,2202., of which kerosene oil and American flour were the principal items, left Newchwang by junk, but this, being more properly regarded as distribution of goods than as re-export trade, is included in the exports. The 2,479,8482. native goods imported (16,250,197 Haikuan taels against 20,510,861 Haikuan taels in 1911) is made up of 1,487,9562. imported by steamer, less 2692. re-exports to foreign countries, and 7,73 62. re-exports to Chinese ports, with the addition of 999,8972. imported by junk. Expressed in sterling, the imports of native goods by steamer show an increase of 97,2512., or 7 per cent., above the value (1,382,7002. net) for 1911, but this increase is more than obliterated and appears as a decrease of 5 • 6 per cent, if the original silver basis of the statistics be retained (1911...”

While British tonnage has declined rather more than proportion- ately to the decline in the tonnage of all nationalities, an outstanding feature of the returns for 1912 is the fact that the amount of cargo carried in British ships has proportionately increased. On a sterling basis its value was 129,0941., or a little over 3 per cent., more than in 1911, though on a silver valuation it shows a falling-off of about 9 per cent. ; the general reduction of the trade of the port having been, as we have already seen, 17 per cent.

“...1911 on the subject of morphia injection continue to hold good. It would seem that there are establishments in the suburbs of this town and its outlying villages where devotees of this habit, mostly, to judge from my imperfect opportunities of observation, coolies of the wharfinger class, go every morning by hundreds to be injected with morphia, and that no real check exists upon this practice or on the sale of morphia and •of instruments for injecting it. Cotton goods.—In sterling the total value of foreign cotton goods imported in 1912 (1,473,318Z.) was very nearly the same as in 1910, and less by only 225,981?. than the record import of 1911. But in silver the values for the three years come to : 1910,10,959,603 Haikuan taels ; 1911, 12,621,486 Haikuan taels; 1912, 9,654,505 Haikuan taels, so that there has really been a reduction of over 20 per cent....”

“...product appears to compete principally or most successfully is British plain fast black Italians. It will be noticed from the figures in the annex that the quantity and value of cotton Italians and lastings imported in 1912 is but a small fraction of what it had been in earlier years (1912, 16,197 pieces, at 12,9571. ; 1911, 191,021 pieces, at 127,213Z.; average, 1907-11, 143,440 pieces, at 99,7762.). The figures of foreign cotton imports ought to be read in com- bination with those of native cotton goods, where, it will be seen, somewhat similar phenomena are manifested. The total of nankeens by junk and steamer, 169,031 pieces, is nearly what it was (174,631 pieces) in 1910, though the rise in the rate of exchange makes the sterling value appear as 771,2072. in place of 744,6582. recorded two years ago, while both value and quantity are far below the 1911 record. Sheetings of native make have also been reduced to less than half the import of the previous year ; drills have fallen to i...”

“...In coal, the progressive increase shown in the last few years has con- tinued, or even been accelerated. Fushun coal is now extensively shipped from Newchwang to all parts of the Far East. Raw wild silk, which is produced in certain parts of the Liaotung peninsula, where the worms are fed on the leaves of a scrub oak, also shows a marked advance, the export for the year being 9,973 cwts., or 3,806 cwts. above the average of the previous five years, while the enhanced rate of exchange makes the value, in sterling, appear to have more than doubled. Ginseng was also much above the average, and so was castor oil. I understand that the yield of castor beans in Manchuria generally was larger in 1912 than in recent years, though none of the (633) B...”

“...18 NEWCHWANG. beans seem to have been shipped from here direct to destinations abroad, and only 1,764 cwts. to Shanghai. Bristles, for which London is the ultimate market, also show an important advance, and skins, in which the export had been gradually falling to small dimensions, have suddenly recovered, or more than recovered, their old position. Both in 1911 and in 1912 there was an exportation of horsehair tails to a value, probably, of over 50,000 Haikuan taels in each year, but owing to the inclusion in the returns of this with other hair products I am unable to be quite sure of the exact amounts. The trade in 1912 may be taken to have been about double as extensive as in any year previous to 1911, the former totals having ranged from 21,000 to 29,000 Haikuan taels. I have noted in previous reports that many donkeys and mules are shipped from here to the " inland waters " ports of the north coast of Shantung. In 1911 their number is recorded as 6,188, but in 1912 it was not much...”

“...what the Mongols regard as their pasture lands, have evidently been in a state of severe strain, resulting in border forays, mutual reprisals, much destruction of property, intense distress and some loss of life. Fifthly, the local money market has been in a condition of great instability during the whole year. The immediate effect of the out- break in Hupei in the autumn of 1911 was to cause a panic and run on the native banks in Newchwang. The demand for ready cash caused a sharp fall in the value of the so-called " transfer money " in which native transactions at this port are commonly booked, and,...”
