REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF IMPORTS AND EXPORTS FOR THE YEAR 1923.

LIQUORS.

The net revenue collected under the heading of Liquor was $1,276,152.87 as against $1,196,799.01 in 1922. The slight increase is due to more strict measures to prevent evasion of duty in the case of Chinese Liquor, but the collection of duty on Chinese Liquor still remains unsatisfactory, the amount paying duty being slightly under the figures for 1914 the first war year, notwithstanding the very large increase in the Chinese population. The consumption of European Liquors shows a very slight increase on the whole compared with 1914.

Detailed figures are as follows :—

1922. 1923. Duties on European Liquors $458,374.69 $458,256.77 Duties on Chinese Liquors 730,868.15 810,325.10 Licensed Warehouse Fees 7,354.17 7,250.00 Licensed Warehouse Overtime Fees 202.00 321.00 $1,196,799.01 $1,276,152.87

Full particulars are shown in Tables I-V.

TOBACCO.

The net revenue collected under the Tobacco Ordinance was $1,831,079.17 as compared with $1,474,677.50 for 1922. The smuggling of cigarettes referred to in the report for last year was chiefly confined to high grade cigarettes of foreign manufacture of which some large seizures were made.

The amount of Tobacco seized was as follows:-

Cigars 10,200 Cigarettes 515,230 Foreign Tobacco 1654 pounds Chinese Tobacco 1,224
