considered by merchants to be as large as the 1921 withdrawals, it may nevertheless conceal a great deal of unprofitable trade. Exchange, which determines the local duty-paying value in Haikwan taels of foreign imports subject to a 5 per cent. ad valorem duty, showed a further decline in the average yearly rate from 3s. 11 d. in 1921 to 3s. 5d. during 1922, and may thus be mentioned as one of the contribut- ing factors to the increase under import duties. A great many of the imports paying ad valorem duties were, further, of a non-mercantile nature, such as building materials, and added to the Customs receipts without stimulating the market.

Traders are finally becoming increasingly handicapped by the competition which at times seems to outgrow the pace of the natural expansion of the country and which in years of depressed or very sensitive markets tends to heighten the established trader's difficulties.

The foregoing tables show that more than half of the whole trade of China in foreign vessels belongs to "the commercial metropolis of China."
