Costin

The principal customers for Indo Chinese rice are stilt Hongkong, and, in the Boccad plase, France and her calonist. Tarning to maize, the total exports in 1910 were 84,280 tons, which were almost entirely absorbed by France. Aarogard minerals, the Charbonatges Mohan pressed 0.00 10 of coal, a figure which is still modest but angus well, for the fature. The Tongkingast exports of lac.or last your were very large.
