TATUNGKOW

Tatungkow was, like Mukden, opened to foreign trade by the Japanese Commercial Treaty of 1903, and a Custom House was opened there on October 1st, 1907. Situated west of the mouth of the Yalu river and some 90 li by cart road from Antung it has shared in the timber trade of the Yalu region. This trade, however, is fast gravitating to Antung, and as the silk and cereal exports from Tatungkow are comparatively small and the possibilities of any considerable development not very obvious, Tatungkow is not likely to come into prominence as an open port. There are no foreign merchants residing at Tatungkow, nor are there any at Fenghwangcheng (declared open in 1907). This latter city works entirely through Antung, and since the removal of the official residence of the Taotai of the Eastern Marches to Antung, the place has practically surrendered all claims to distinction.
