The annual value of the foreign trađa of Chlon in 1895 was nearly 31,000,000 Halkwan txels, or £51,500,000. Is 1894 the annual value of the foreign trade was 290,000,000 Halkwantaḍls,orabout £16,500,000. There has thus been an increase of nearly 15,000,000 Halkwan taeld. Tbla increase is remarkable, as it is greater than that which took place in 1894 as compared with 1893, and greater than the increase shown in the returns for 1897.
