CHINA'S OBLIGATION.
CUSTOMS REVENUE SHOWS A DEGREASE.
China's Republie met all the for eign obligations secured on the Murię time Customs fully to December 31, 1018, notwithstanding the difficulties in the way of triche resulting from the Great War. The Customs Be- venue for 1918 shows a decrease of nearly 6 per cent. Haikian Taels 1:850,000. - The total collection last year mounted to Haikwart Taels 36,334,000 us compared to Haikwaz Taels 39,189,000 in 1917. The volume of trude done by the Chinese porta is clearly indicated. Hurbin, the gateway to Siberia, from the south, lost a third of its trade. Artung, or the Korean border, de: creased 22 per cent. But Imirer, the comme port af Manchuria on the Yellow Sen controlled by Japan. has had a record collection of 'cus- torns; the increased business here amounts to, roundly, 15 per cent. Disturbed conditions in the Yangtze Valley are responsible for the great emporium of Hankow declining about 6 per cent. from the 1917 letel The South Chine ports of Shanghai, Swatow, and Canton lost but slightly. It is significant to note that under
Japanese control the customs returns- (of Kisodbow-which has figured in the news from the Peace Confererice havo yielded a third less re-
vento.
As Japanese interests in the whole Province of Shantung ex- panded tremendously during 1018, the decline in revenue to Clina's cus- toma is surprising. Shanghai con tinues to hold its premier place in the trade of China as the great dis- tributing port. The business enter." ing through Shanghai. amounted in 1918 to the combined - returns frgin the three next largest ports.
