[No. 5889 JUNE 2, 1882,

The disturbance if the above sketched balance of trade, it will be soon, is caused principally by the Chinese import of Opium from fadie; and it is worthy ef note that the Import of the drug for 1881 is stated as follows:-Imports into Hongkong, 80,688 piculs; which is the lowest during the last eight years, excepting 1875, As there were imported into Chinese ports in foreign vessels 79,074 piculs, the residue of 10,615 piculs is to be accounted for by export from Hongkong to countries other than China, and by the quantity brought into China by native vessels.
