Bheats are boiled here and sent to California and Australia, and 300 Chests shipped to Manila and Saigon. From the remaining balance of 11,001 Chests is to be deducted an annual unsold stock of 4000 Chests. On an average; final balance of 10,001 Chests, which must be exported, annually by native Crafts from this place to the consuming ports, where duty can be collected by the native authorities. If not done so, it would be more reasonable that it is done on a large portion of what is thus imported into the than to assume otherwise. Thus Your Excellency will perceive that the statement, which is put forward by the apologists of Chinese Government, to the effect that 30,000 @ 40,000 Chests are annually smuggled from this port, is totally at variance with the true state of things; that statement forms the ground work which is based the proposition.
