This is sufficiently shown in a table given by the ACTING-CONSUL, in which it appears that the gross trade in 1896 was worth over twenty-seven million taels, nearly twenty nine millions next year, nearer thirty-six millions in 1898, forty-five millions from 1890 to 1903, and now over the fifty millions.
