TIENTSIN

706

The export coal trade may be expected to develop rapidly, as the Chinese Corpora- tion has been replaced by a strong combination of British and Belgian capitalists registered as an English limited liability company, The output and sale of the Kaiping collieries is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 3,500,000 tons a year, of which about 400,000 tons annually are brought to Tientsin for disposal to local consumers and to native craft navigating the Grand Canal and other inland waterways. Tientsin is the principal 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 100,000,000, but the trade of the port for some years past has shown little tendency to increase.
