The falling off affected brick tea, tas dust, | chinaware, com-hidae, fire crack- sis, melon saeda, ramie fibre, 10- bacco leaf, tallow, raw cotton and ground nuts. The loss of Garmaan. buyers accounted for the reduced ladings of hides, illow and ramie fibre, classes of goods which find their way to Europe. However, the total net value of the trade of the part in 1914 showed an in crasse as compared with 1913 of 5,172,266 Haikwan izela (6705;- 799).
