In proof of the commercial relations between Fa-ku-men and Hsin-min-t'un (Hsin-min Fu) I am enabled to give the following figures relating to the traffic handled during the twelve months ended the 31st August, 1908, by the Imperial Railways of)( North China between Hsin-min Fu and Newchwang via Kou-pang-tzu and between Hsin-min Fu and stations south-west of Kou-pang-tzu as well as the share of that traffic between Hsin-min Fu and the Fa-ku-men district :--
1. Hsin-min Fu to Newchwang-

From the above it will be seen that the traffic between the Fa-ku-men district and Tiehling for the twelve months ended the 31st August, 1908, amounted to 28,050 tons, against 55,830 tons between the Fu-ku-men district and Hsin-min-t'un (Hsin-min Fu) for the same period. In other words, the traffic of the Fu-ku-men district carried by the Imperial Railways of North China at Hsin-min-t'un is double its traffic with the South Manchurian Railway at T'iebling.
