The export in Brown Sugar in 1901 was 49,733 piculs from Tungkun, and 32,108 piculs from Sanon. It is not possible to ascertain from the returns from what districts the matting comes. But the Commissioner tells me that it is exported chiefly from Shikiung on the East River and Lin Tau on the West.
The total export in 1901 was 408,128 rolls valued at 1,779,707 taels. In 1902 it was only 219,001 rolls valued at 985,505 taels. The Commissioner in his report for 1902 says that the large decrease in the export of matting and of Brown Sugar is chiefly due to fiscal changes. From other sources I learn that Sugar can now be obtained in Hongkong from other places cheaper than it can be obtained from Tungkun and that a great part of the Sugar from that district goes to Canton. An increase in the use of Japan matting is I understand the cause of the reduction in the export of that article.
I attach a tracing shewing the positions of the places named above.
