The figures relating to the Import and Export Trade of the Port, given in previons years, have, as pointed out annually, been based upon information which can only be characterised as unsatisfactory and the results as erronens and misleading. As it is obvious that such returns have no value, they are discontinued in the form they have hitherto taken, but the aggregates of the reports received are shown, for purposes of comparison, in round numbers. These include imports of Sugar and imports and exports of Opium, of which accurate returns are rendered.
The aggregates show an increase of about 360,000 tons in Imports, of about 191,000 tons in Exports and of about 518,000 tons in Transit Cargo.
The total reported Import and Transit trade of the Port for 1907 amounted to 23,819 vessels of 11,512,223 tous carrying about 8,237,000 tons of Cargo of which about 4,811,000 tons were discharged at Hongkong.
