The value of imports at Tairen (sloy) for last year was 128,90,000 and of exports Y14 570,000, which compares with the values of Y17,530,000 for import and Y21,133,000 for exporte at Newchwang for the same year.
It will thna be seen that the imports of Taiten show an excess of over Y10,000,000 on the flgares of Newchwang, while exports are some ¥10,000.000 lese, but in the aggregate Tairen is Y834,000 shoad of Newchwang-Jap
