A considerable export trade in coal, firebricks and general cargo is done with Newchwang, Chefoo, Weihaiwei, Tsingtau, Shanghai, Hankow, Canton and other ports. The import trade, consisting mainly of piece-goods and general cargo, comes principally from Shanghai, but a good trade is also done with the abovementioned ports.
The Chargeurs Reunis Steamship Co. have established a permanent service of steamers to Chinwangtao from Europe, so that cargo may now be booked through to Tientsin without transhipment at Shanghai as hitherto.
The Company has its own wharves and godowns at Tientsin, Chinwangtao, Tongku, Shanghai and Canton, and also godowns and property for storage of cargo at Newchwang and Chefoo.
The shortest sea route between Tientsin and Shanghai is riđ Chinwangtao. The Company's steamers leave Chinwangtao for Shanghai on the arrival of the mail from Peking and Tientsin, and incoming steamers are timed to connect with the morning mail train.
The Company's new steamer S. S. Kaiping offers the most comfortable, rapid and sure
means of communication between Shanghai and Tientsin or Peking. The journey occupies about 60 hours, and is independent of the uncertainty and delay of the Taku route.
