The general statistics of the opium trade are given in Tables IV to VI.
11. The trade in Compounds of Opium and Morphia again declined considerably. The trade in Cocaine shows an increase, but this was all done in the first half of the year. During the latter half of the year there has been very little trade in either Morphia or Cocaine owing to further restrictions placed on the import of these drugs at the various ports in China and the neighbouring countries.
Figures for the years 1910 and 1911 for Compounds of Opium, Morphia and Cocaine are as follows:-
