become the market for Black Teas. The general trade of the Port, however, has in- creased considerably in recent years, a large developmenf of Inland Steam Navigation in the Poyang Lake contributing to this result. Its connection by rail with the provincial capital, Nanchang (begun in 1906), may further improve matters. The total quantity of Tea exported in 1907 was 252,396 piculs against 200,016 piculs in 1906, 170,637 piculs in 1905, 186,035 piculs in 1904, and 240,717 piculs in 1903. Kewkiang is the port from whence the ware made at the far-famed porcelain factories at Kin-tê-chên is shipped. The specimens sent to the Paris Exhibition in 1900 secured a silver medal, in competition with European porcelain. The export of chinaware in 1907 was 67,852 piculs; in 1906 it was 59,874 piculs; in 1905, 45,704; in 1904 36,614 and in 1903, 51,513 piculs. Large quantities are also sent away in Junks. Beans, and peas, hemp, indigo, paper, melon and sesamum seeds, and tobacco leaf are also important exports. The net value of the trade of the port for 1907 was Tls. 30,237,377 against Tls. 32,731,011 in 1906, and Tls. 23,228,664 in 1905.
