The total Customs Receipts at the Porte named for the past three years have averaged £2,008,500 per annum, and the total Customs Revenue for the same period at all the Ports in China has averaged £8,500,000 per annum
The indebtedness of the Imperial Go- overnment only amounts to about £700,000, of which about £250,000 mature next year. The amounts of the outstanding Loans and the proposed Loan are therefore, together, only £2,200,000, or about two-thirds of ons year's Onitoma Revenue. The payments both of interest and principal on account of outstanding Loans have been duly and punctually met by the Chinese Govern- mental data AAMAAN
