12,039 tons, or 0.3 per cent. These figures are not, however, reliable, there being no means of collecting accurate information, in the absence of any Customs Staff.
Emigration and Immigration.
One hundred and eleven thousand and fifty-eight (111,058) Emigrants left Hongkong for various places during the year 1910, (77,430 in 1909). Of these 79,851 were carried in British ships and 31,207 in Foreign ships. These figures show a large increase, compared with those for 1909, of 33,628 (or 43.4%), which is accounted for by the largely increased emigration to the Federated Malay States to provide labour for the Rubber Plantations.
