CHEFOO
93
In winter, when the Pei-ho is frozen, merchandise and mails for Tientsin and some of the more northern cities are landed at this port and conveyed to their destinations overland. The harbour is commodious and possesses sufficient depth of water for vessels of considerable draught, but it is exposed to strong gales which prevail at certain seasons of the year. Chefoo is celebrated as the place where Sir Thomas Wade and the Grand Secretary Li Hung-chang concluded the "Chefoo Convention" in September, 1876. The population of Chefoo is estimated at 32,500. Fortifications on a considerable scale are now being constructed for the defence of the port from hostile fleets.
The trade of Chefoo, like that of Newchwang, is principally in Beancake and Beans, of which large quantities are annually exported to the southern ports of China. In 1891, the net export of Beancake amounted to 1,232,825 piculs and of Beans to 73,383 piculs, as against 1,087,505 piculs of the former and 89,481 piculs of the latter in 1890. The import of Opium was 332 piculs compared with 3,536 piculs in 1879, the trade having dwindled annually. The total value of the trade of the port for 1891 was Tls. 12,800,474, and for 1890 Tls. 12,862,382.
