NEWCHWANG

179

The country about the port of Newchwang is bare and desolate, and in sailing up the river a most cheerless prospect greets the traveller's eye. Ying-tz is surrounded by dreary marshes, and the land under cultivation produces principally beans. The river is closed by ice for more than three months every year, during which period the residents are entirely cut off from the outer world. The climate, however, is healthy and bracing. The population of the place is estimated at 60,000.

The

The chief articles of trade at the port are Beans and Bean-cake; 4,083,696 cwts., of the former and 5,520,562 cwts. of the latter being exported in 1902, representing 88 per cent. of the trade of the port. The net quantity of Opium imported in 1901 was 2,133 lbs. compared with 19,956 lbs. in 1900. In 1902, it amounted to ",533 lbs. import of Opium has of late years shown an almost continuous decline, the poppy being largely and successfully cultivated in Manchuria. The total net value of trade to of the port for 1899 amounted to Tls. 48,357,623 as against Tls. 32,441,315 in 1898. Trade in 1900 was necessarily suspended, its value being Tls. 22,024,643, but in 1901 it amounted to Tls. 42,262,209 and in 1902, to Tls. 42,692,135. The port figured conspicuously in the troubles in China in 1900, the Chinese troops who attacked the town being defeated by the Russians, who took possession of the port and the Provisional Administration effected considerable improvements at the East end of the town.
