CHEFOO.
Thomas Wade and Li Hung-chang concluded the "Chefoo Convention" in Sep- tember, 1876, and thus brought to a termination the negotiations which had been pending so long respecting the reparation demanded by the British Government for the murder of Mr. Margary in Yunnan.

The trade of Chefoo, like that of Newchwang, is principally carried on iu Bean- cake and Beans, of which large quantities are annually exported to the southern ports of China. In 1877, the net export of the former amounted to 626,526 piculs and of the latter to 147,218 piculs. The quantity of Opium imported in 1877 amounted to 2,152 piculs as compared with 2,228 piculs in 1876. This import has steadily declined for the past three years, owing partly to the increased cultivation of the poppy in Shantung and partly to the dreadful famines which have desolated the province. The total revenue of the port for 1877 amounted to Tls. 215,056, and for 1876 to Tls. 234,534. The population of Chefoo is estimated at 30,000.
