HANKOW

Ten is the staple export. The total export of Tea from Hankow (including re-exports of Kewkiang tea) amounted in 1899 to 526,095 piculs (of which 296,358 piculs were to Chinese ports), as compared to 478,338 piculs in 1898 and 410,019 piculs shipped in 1897; and the quantity of brick tea exported in 1899 was 384,830 against 447,006 piculs in 1898. In 1899, Opium was imported to the extent of 400 piculs, as against 469 piculs in 1898 and 518 piculs in 1897. It is computed that 70 per cent. of the opium used at this port is native grown drug--the import of the foreign article is declining. The trade under the transit pass system is larger at Hankow than at any other port, its value in 1899 being Tls. 125,558 as against Tls. 148,901 for 1898. The net value of the trade of the port in 1899 amounted to Tls. 67,202,061, as against Tls. 53,771,445, in 1898 to Tls. 49,720,630, in 1897.
