CHEMULPO

there are a few places where the fall in the river is very considerable, owing to the existence of sand banks, it is desirable that river steamers, intended to run regularly, should not draw over six feet. An overland telegraph line from China to this port and the city of Seoul was opened to traffic in November, 1885. The climate is healthy and may be compared to that of Chefoo. The foreign population was 2,914 (including 2,331 Japanese) in 1891, and the natives were estimated at 2,972.
The port was opened to Japanese trade on the 1st January, 1883, and to foreign trade on the 16th June of the same year. The value of the imports from foreign countries in 1891 was $3,183,055, and that of the exports $1,446,257. The total value of the trade of the port in 1891 was $5,216,457 compared with $4,897,259 in 1890.
