KONGMOON
A447
The advance made under coastwise trade was attributed to the fact that, as a esult of defensive restrictions at the Bocca Tigris, local dealers found it more Profitable to deal direct with the various coast ports, such as Shangliai, Swatow, and Wakhoi. With the Japanese landing at Bias Bay, the Bocca Tigris was closed on the 3th, October, steam communication with the outside world ceasing thereafter except by permission of the Japanese. A brisk junk trade, however, soon developed with Macao to take the place of the former steam traffic with Hongkong. As a result of his communication with Macao the trade of Kongmoon increased considerably owards the end of the year, leading to the reopening of the Customs early in the New Year. With favourable climatic condition, rice crops was excellent and fruit
rowers fared well.
