CHEFOO

only 40 miles from Chefoo, was attacked in February, 1895, and the forts and most of the Chinese Fleet destroyed by the Japanese, who still hold Liu Kung-tao (the island opposite the mainland) under the terms of the Li-Ito Treaty, which was ratified at Chefoo in May, 1895. In 1876 the Chefoo Convention was concluded at Chefoo by the late Sir Thomas Wade and the former Viceroy of Chihli, Li Hung-chang. The bundling of the Western shore has recently been commenced by the Chinese authorities, and this, when completed, should remove many of the difficulties at present attending upon the shipping business of the port.

The trade of Chefoo, which is increasing, is principally in Beancake and Beans, of which large quantities are annually exported to the southern ports of China. In 1895, the net export of Beancake amounted to 817,675 piculs and of Beans to 132,126 piculs, as against 1,238,132 piculs of the former and 125,001 piculs of the latter in 1894. Silk, Strawbraid, and Vermicelli are the other chief exports. The import of Opium was 454 piouls compared with 3,536 piculs in 1879, the trade having gradually dwindled. The total value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 18,180,183 and for 1894 Tls. 15,347,853
