JOME STARTLING TRADE FIGUR38.
During the year 1820 the total value of the trade of the port, under the cognizance of the Maritime :: Customs, amounted to 841 million Ek. Tis. or nearly half that of the whole trade of the Treaty Ports, and the revenue collected | amounted to about two-fifths of the total Maritime Custome collection. The revenue for the first three-quarters of this year was already 1 million taels in excess of that of the corresponding period of last Fear,
The total tonnage entered and cleared at Shanghai last year was 22,500,000 tons, of which 37 per cent. was British, 27 per cont. Japanese, 18 per cent. Chinese, 11 per cent. Americao, and 23 per cent. French.
The total tonnage of steamers under the control of the Native Customs-prin- sipally trading under Inland Waters Re gulations was 1,098,000 tons; the num ber of junks entered and cleared, was 58,000; the value of the cargoes this ship- ping carried was Tis. 72,000,000, and the total tevero collected was Tls. 292,000..
It, then, the trade of Shanghai had in the past 78 years grown to the dimen- &sions indicated by these figures, in spite of the disabilities under which the ship ping of the port had laboured, who could Bay what limit was to be put to the pos sibilities of ita future expansion as the ultimate outcome of the investigations now about to be undertaken by the Com- mittes of eminent experts whom they were then welcoming 1
