The Customs revenue for the year is by far the largest ever collected at Mengtsz which was opened to foreign trade in 1889 amounting to Hk. Tis. 104,103, or an increase of Hk. Tla. 15,282 over the receipts of 1894. The only decrease shown is in opium. As indicating the growing and successful competition of Japanese against European articles, Mr Carl gires the statistice for matches as followiu 1802, 20,840 gross of European matches were imported against 3,781 gross of Japanese; in 1809, Europest, 8,844, Japanese, 4,913; in 1894, European, 7,684, Japanese 8,471 ;! in 1890, European, 2308, Japanese, 13,822.
