CHEFOO.

Thomas Wade and Grand Secretary Li Hung-chang concluded the "Chefoo Convention" in September, 1876, and thus brought to a termination the negotiations. which had reen pending so long respecting the reparation demanded by the British Government for the murder of Mr. Margary in Yunnan. The population of Chefoo is estimated at 30,000.

The trade of Chefoo, liko that of N.webwang, is principally carried on in Bean- cake and Beans, of which large quantities are annually exported to the southern ports of China. In 1878, the net export of Beancake amounted to 994,187 piculs and of Beans to 160,549 piculs as against 626,526 piculs of the former and 147,218 piculs of the latter in 1877. The quantity of Opium imported in 1878 amounted to 3,427 piculs as compared with 2,152 piculs in 1877. This import had steadily declined for several years, owing partly to the increased cultivation of the poppy in Shantung and partly to the dreadiul famines which have desolated the province, but has now revived again, probably on account of a decreased production of the native drug. The total revenue of the port for 1878 amounted to Tls. 313,838, and for 1877 to Tls. 215,056.
