CHINNAMPO
province of Ping-yang. It is some forty miles distant by water from Ping-yang, the third city in the Kingdom, with a population of 40,000, and it is expected that it will become a place of considerable commercial activity. The province is rich in agricultural and mineral wealth, the latter being now developed by foreign enterprise. The exports in 1904 amounted in value to £107,695 and the imports to £236,517, a slight decrease in the former, and a remarkable increase (from £186,594) in the latter. The business of the port is increasing year by year, the rich hinterland holding out good prospects for the future. Building operations in the General Foreign Settlement are going on apace, and where formerly only a few mud-huts were to be seen, sub- stantial wooden and brick buildings are now taking their places. The business community is entirely composed of Chinese and Japanese to the total number of
about 600.
The principal articles of export are rice, beans, wheat, maize, cow-hides and timber. Of imports, cotton and silk piece goods, matches, kerosine, porcelain, iron and hardware, deserve mention. The harbour of Chinnampo affords safe accom- modation for a great number of vessels of the deepest draught and the largest tonnage.
