NEWCHWANG
79
chwang was shut off from the rest of the world during winter, but the advent of rail ways has changed all this. The Imperial Railways of North China, through thei branch line from Koupangtzu, maintain daily communication with Tientsin, Peking an Mukden; and the South Manchurian Railway, through its branch line from Tashih chiao, maintains daily communication with Dalny, Port Arthur, Mukden, Tiehling an Kuanchengtze. At the latter place the Chinese Eastern Railway connects for Harbi and Europe by the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The Chinese population of Yingkow is estimated at 52,000 and the foreign popula tion in 1908 numbered 2,538 souls, of which 2,396 were of Japanese nationality.
The value of the trade of the port during the year 1910 was Hk. Tls. 53,012,200 Until a few years back Newchwang had the monopoly of the trade of Manchuria, but now she has powerful competitors in Harbin in the North, and Dalny in the South. In spite o the competition she is holding her own and the trade for 1910 promises to be the larges on record. The chief articles of export are agricultural products-beans, millet, maize etc., and their by-products beancake, bean oil and samshu, with a fair amount c bristles, ginseng, native medicines, wild and refuse silk and skins and furs thrown in Another article of export has lately arisen in Fushun coal, and the South Manchuria Railway, finding the cost of laying down the coal at Newchwang is cheaper than a Dalny, is developing the export trade from Newchwang.
The greater part of the export trade here is with Japan and the Southern Chines ports, but some direct shipments of beans and beancake were made to Europe. Detail of a scheme for the improvement of the Upper Reaches of the Liao River and the deep ening of the Bar at its mouth have been under consideration for over two years, ant a preliminary Agreement-embodying regulations for the financing and operation o the scheme-signed in July by the Consular Body and Taotai, still formed early in November, 1911, the subject of negotiations between the Diplomatic Body at Pekin and the Chinese Central and Provincial Authorities. It was hoped that early ratifica tion of this Agreement would be effected in order that the scheme might be put int force with a minimum of delay so that work could be commenced in 1912.
