THE SOUTH MANCHURIAN
RAILWAY
TRADE OF TAIREN AND NEWCHWANG
Mr. Nopomura, a Director of the South Manchurian Railway Company, in an inter- view, in reported to have made the following remarka
"Of the various branches of business under taken by the company it is the milway and the
Fushun coal mine which yield the largest prout. Some of the other enterpriten cau bare ly make both ends meet, while qihers are un- | duciakon at a considerable loss to the company, Tas company, howevit, in prepared for this, and hercia fies the reason why the company is regarded generally with so much importance. For instance, the regular' steamship · lind? between Tairen and Shanghai is run at an adual loss of more chao Y100,000 to the com pany. We are so anxious to develop Man churia that we are willing to sacrifice immediate guin for the sake of future gund and our efforts ato slowly but steadily bearing fruit. The same may be said of the hotels run by the company, Unless there ha decent hotel accommodation no travellers will be attracted to Manchuria, Ta the Interior also the company in doing much towards the development of the town, This year the company has laid out a sum of Y350,000 on the construction of roads at Fiebling, Liaoyang, Kaiping, and other places,

"The construction of the Chungchun-Kirin, Railway will be commenced next year as soon as the cold season is ovat." When this line is completed it is expected that the value of mere chandise imported to and exported from the Sungari regions will increase to several times the present amount. At present the value of imports to Kiria dogo not exceed six million yea sonually, the principal goods being cotton. fabrics, salt, sugar, karösene, etc. Exports in- clude tobacco, hamp, cereals, `etc., the total" value being roughly estimated at Y4,500,000, The financial condition of the Astung-Muk- den Railway is, on the whole, satisfactory, though it has not yet been placed on a self-supporting... basis. The daily average receipts al prosent are returned at Y1,200, compared with a daily revenue at the corres ponding period last year of only Vága. The quantity of goods carried over the line is in- creasing and its fature prospects are encourag- ing, Last year the railway sustelued a loss of Y500,000, but this your's deficit will be no more than Yz00,000."-

Continuing, Mr. Novomura referred to the relative trading importance of Tairen and Now chwang. The latter, as the oldest trading post in Manchuria, is equipped with the accessory commercial machinery and is superior to Tsiren in some respect, But Tairon bas of late years been making much progress. Such influential firms as the Mitsui Bussan and the Okoragami
