TIENTSIN
The export coal trade may be expected to develop rapidly, as the Chinese Corpora- tion has been replaced by a strong combination of British and Belgian capitalists registered as an English limited liability company. The output and sale of the Kaiping collieries is about 1,250,000 tons a year, of which about 280,000 tons annually is brought to Tientsin for disposal to local consumers and to native craft navigating the Grand Canal and other inland waterways. Tientsin is practically the only sea out- let for the entire trade of the provinces of Chihli, Shansi, Shensi, Kansuh, and part of Honan, with a population not far short of 191,000,000, but the trade of the port has de- clined substantially since 1996. Following are the comparative statistics for the years 1909, 19'0 and 1911 :-
