CHEFOO

683

Chefoo was connected in 1900 by telegraph cables with Tientsin, Port Arthur, Weihaiwei, Tsingtao and Shanghai.

The net value of the trade of the port for 1919 was Hk. Tls. 37,683,137, as compared with Hk. Tls. 30,835,885 in 1918 and Hk. Tls. 32,233,419 in 1917.

Chefoo is an important port of call for large numbers of regular line and tramp steamers, being in the line of communication between Indian, South China, Japanese, Korean and Manchurian ports and the ports in the north. During the season from March to December as many as twenty to thirty steamers per day often enter and clear the port. The port supplies Vladivostock and Siberia with upwards of one hundred thousand coolies annually; the coolies leave for Vladivostock during the spring months, and those returning reach Chefoo in the latter part of the year. This movement of coolies furnishes business for numbers of steamers.
