10 feet up to Mapu; but seeing that at certain seasons there are a few places where the fall in the river is very considerable, owing to the existence of sand banks, it is desirable that river steamers, intended to run regularly, should not draw over six feet. An overland telegraph line from China to this port and the city of Seoul has been constructed, and was opened to traffic on the 28th November, 1885.

The climate is healthy and may be compared to that of Chefoo. 29.87 was the mean reading of the barometer in the summer months of 1884, and 30.14 in the winter.

The port was opened to Japanese trade on the 1st January, 1883, and to foreign trade on the 16th June of the same year. The value of the imports from foreign countries in 1885 was $1,671,562, and that of the exports $388,023. The value of

the trade of the port in 1885 was $1,159,322 compared with $585,960 in 1884.
