CONSULAR 'REFORT.
The commercial importance of Narning a a trade centre bad become so evident that on April 1, 1907, the Imperial Maritime Customs sent a staff to establlab a custom-house at the port, Native merchants were, however, slaw to avail themselves of the advantages which it offered; the old system-of-covering goods by lowerd and outward transit passes taken out at Wuchow for places above Nanning being still followed to a large extent, It follows that much of the cargo passing through Narning does not appear to be customs returns.
The total value of the
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS............
passing through the customs-house during the last three quarters of 1957 was estimated at Tis.6,000,000 or Tha. 7,000,000 (£1,900,00), but, as nearly all the exports are either covered by | these Wuchow transit passes,, or else pass through the native customs, this figure does not give an accurate idea of the large trade of this natural commercial centre, which attracts about 65 per cent. of the trade of Kwangsi, The actual customs revenue collected during nine months was bot Tis. 24,092 (£3,915). No statistics are available to show the proportion ut exports to or imports from foreign countries, but Nanning shows very distinct signs of pro- gress, and all foreign goods are rapidly growing in popular favour.
THE POPULATION OF NANNING in said to be r00,000, and is a very mixed co.n.
